A nonprofit closely<\/a> tied to<\/a> former President Donald Trump and his administration gave millions of dollars in 2020 to an array of conservative groups, a new tax filing<\/a> from the nonprofit, now called<\/a> America First Works, shows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The largest grant to an outside group, nearly $4.8 million, went to Donors Trust<\/a>, a donor-advised fund often used by conservative megadonors as a conduit for contributions to other nonprofits. The filing notes the money is \u201cfbo [for the benefit of] Honest Ele,\u201d but cuts off the rest of the description, rendering the ultimate recipient unclear. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The information in the disclosure suggests the money could have been for the Honest Elections Project, a conservative group embedded in an opaque network of conservative nonprofits that receives money via Donors Trust. Honest Elections Project advocated against the expansion of access to mail ballots in multiple states last year. <\/p>\n\n\n
