Organizations influenced by adversarial foreign nationals should not benefit from our tax code,” said Senator Cotton. Text of the bill can be found here. The Nonprofit Governance Integrity Act would: Prohibit any 501(c)(3), 501(c)(4), or 501(c)(6) nonprofit organization from receiving tax exempt status if any member of the board of directors, or a similar governing body, is a citizen or national of a nation listed as a Foreign Entity of Concern (FEOC). This rule would not apply to churches or a convention or association of churches. ###	1	2026-03-30T01:40:41Z	2026-04-06T19:10:29Z
