501(c)(3) and (c4) - Should Foreign Donations Be Banned or At Least Made Public?

Right now it is perfectly legal for non-profits to take foreign donations AND they are allowed to keep them anonymous (even from the IRS when it comes to c4's). 501(c)(4)'s are allowed to do electioneering and fund campaign ads, etc. They just cannot do it more than 50% of the time. They are allowed to put foreign money into a pool with domestic money and pay for their "political" stuff with it if they want.

It blows my mind that this is legal. Foreign donations are bad enough, but there being no law requiring disclosure of these donors is another. In the case of (c)3's who must report donor names to the IRS, the IRS still can't do anything with the information without a court order. They aren't allowed to pass it onto FBI or other agencies if they find something fishy. Other agencies must serve them with a court order to get the info.

But (c)(4)'s do not have to report anything about their donors, even to the IRS. The FEC only requires it if the money is earmarked for elections (none of them earmark the money).

The DSA is a 501(c)4.
