CharityWatch's rating of Environmental Defense Action Fund (EDF Action) includes the financial activities of the 501(c)(4) tax-exempt, social welfare organization (tax ID #90-0080500). CharityWatch provides a separate rating for Environmental Defense Fund (EDF), the related 501(c)(3) public charity (tax ID #11-6107128). According to the Environmental Defense Action Fund (EDF Action) audit of September 30, 2024 (Note 6, Related Parties): "EDF Action received grants of $5,371,270 for the year ended September 30, 2024 from EDF Inc., representing a portion of the grassroots lobbying and the direct lobbying allowances permitted by EDF Inc. as a 501(c)(3) organization..." According to EDF Action's IRS Form 990, Schedule R, Part V, Transactions with Related Organizations, EDF Action reports providing a "gift, grant, or capital contribution to related organization(s)" of $7,350,000 to EDF Action Votes, Inc., a related Section 527 political action fund. This grant represents 27.2% of Total Expenses, and 31.6% of Program Expenses for EDF Action during fiscal 2024. CharityWatch separates the ratings for 501(c)(4) & 501(c)(3) organizations, even when they are included together in a consolidated audit, due to their differing treatments under the IRS tax code. For more information on this topic, please see our sections on Types of Non-Profits, Tax Status, and Treatment of Related Organizations, which can be found on the Our Process page. CharityWatch's methodology is not designed to rate political action committees.
