Analysts' Notes
CharityWatch's rating of Media Research Center (MRC) does not include the financial activities of America, Inc. (tax ID #27-3352652), a related 501(c)(4) social welfare nonprofit; of American Movement Foundation (tax ID#87-3862697), a related 501(c)(3) public charity; of American Movement ) tax ID#87-3752555), a related 501(c)(4) social welfare nonprofit; or of American Movement Association (Tax ID#87-3888616), a related 501(c)(6) business league or membership nonprofit. CharityWatch does not provide separate ratings of these organizations at this time. According to the fiscal 2023 IRS Tax Form 990 of Media Research Center, Part XII, Financial Statements and Reporting, the organization's financial statements were audited on a separate, not consolidated basis. Meaning, CharityWatch is unable to provide a combined rating that includes the financial activities of the related 501(c)(3) public charity entities. Should Media Research Center publish consolidated audited financial statements in the future that include the financial activities of both organizations, CharityWatch may update our rating to include such information at that time.
