Background & History
Vine & Fig Tree Action Inc. (EIN: 99-3826844) is the 501(c)(4) advocacy arm of the V&FT network. Unlike 501(c)(3) entities, 501(c)(4) organizations can engage in unlimited lobbying and political activity. This structure allows the V&FT network to channel anonymized donor funds into direct political advocacy while maintaining the tax advantages of the charitable entities.
Operational Role in the Network
Political advocacy node — the 501(c)(4) arm that converts anonymized donor capital into political action. The (c)(4) structure enables unlimited lobbying while the (c)(3) entities provide tax-deductible intake.
