The IRS could use its 2025 funds to work on political activity by some nonprofits. The bill removes a temporary funding block, but it does not create new disclosure rules by itself.
Modern Action explains legislation in plain English, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.
End Dark Money Act is a House bill in committee. The latest recorded action: Referred to the House Committee on Ways and Means.
Latest action on H.R. 2498: Referred to the House Committee on Ways and Means.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects nonprofit groups that take part in political activity and the IRS staff who oversee tax-exempt organizations. It could also matter to voters, watchdog groups, and campaigns that track political spending through nonprofits. The bill does not directly order nonprofits to file new reports. Any real change for them would depend on what the IRS does next.
Why this matters: Some nonprofit political spending can be hard for the public to trace, and this bill could let the IRS do more work in that area. That kind of hard-to-trace spending is often called dark money. The bill does not end dark money on its own. It only removes a funding block for one fiscal year, so the effect depends on later IRS action and future decisions by Congress.
You do not have to start with a blank letter. Modern Action turns the bill, your position, and the relevant congressional context into a message you can edit and send. The goal is to make contacting Congress clear, specific, and useful without forcing you to parse bill text or figure out the right office on your own.
