Accountability

Transparency & governance

An organization asking people to act should show how it is run. Here are our tax status, our governing documents, and the rules that keep us legally and financially separate from our affiliated charity.

Tax status

Digital Asset Tax Advocacy is an Illinois not-for-profit corporation organized as a social welfare organization under Section 501(c)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code. Our employer identification number (EIN) is 42-3452025.

Contributions to Digital Asset Tax Advocacy are not deductible as charitable contributions for federal income tax purposes and may be used for lobbying.

How the two organizations stay separate

Digital Asset Tax Advocacy is affiliated with Digital Asset Tax Action, a legally separate Section 501(c)(3) public charity. The affiliation lets one shared mission run on two tracks — advocacy here, education there — but the money stays strictly separate: each organization has its own board, its own bank accounts, and its own books, and funds are never shared or transferred between them. Where the two use shared infrastructure — this website platform, office space, administrative services — a written cost-sharing agreement governs the split, and this organization pays its full share so that no charitable dollars ever subsidize lobbying.

You can read the full cost-sharing rules and our affiliate’s governing documents on the Digital Asset Tax Action transparency page.

Donor and advocate privacy

We collect only what an action requires, our payment processor — not us — holds payment details, and our lists are never sold. Read the full privacy policy.
