What the IRS sees

Sixteen Thirty Fund is a 501(c)(4) social welfare group based in Washington, DC. It files a Form 990 with the IRS every year that shows how much money it moves, but never who gave it. That is the whole point of routing money this way.

Where the cheques went

A nonprofit that does not have to say where its own money came from. The trail ends here. Each gift is split the way the group that received it split its spending between winners and losers, so a $10M cheque to a group that spent 80% on losers counts as $8M on the losing side.
