Politically Active Nonprofits: What We’ve Learned about Dark Money
DATE & TIME: Friday, December 6, 8:30 – 10:00 AM
LOCATION: Faculty Conference Center, Burns Law Library, George Washington University (716 20th St. NW, 5th floor, Washington, DC 20052)
Political activity by nondisclosing nonprofits, often referred to as “dark money groups,” has become a major point of contention – as well as confusion – in the current campaign finance debate and a force in contemporary elections. Please join the Center for Responsive Politics for a panel discussion where we’ll take stock of what’s going on with these important players in the post-Citizens United, post-IRS scandal world, and recap what happened in 2012 based on new information from recently obtained 990s. We’ll also set the stage for the run-up to the 2014 and 2016 elections — and discuss the potential impact of the new proposed regulations from the IRS.
Panelists for this event include:
- Donald Tobin, Ohio State University Moritz College of Law
- Peter Overby, NPR
- Jan Baran, Wiley Rein
- Viveca Novak, Center for Responsive Politics
- Robert Maguire, Center for Responsive Politics
