Analysts' Notes
CharityWatch's rating of National Women's Law Center (NWLC) also includes the financial activities of National Women's Law Center Fund, LLC (the LLC), and the Abortion Access Legal Defense Fund LLC (AALP) which are consolidated in the NWLC audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023. NWLC, the LLC, and AALP are 501(c)(3) public charities. All inter-entity balances and significant transactions have been eliminated in the audit consolidation. The rating does not include the financial activities of the National Women's Law Center Action Fund, a related 501(c)(4) tax-exempt, social welfare organization (tax ID #46-0639645). At this time, CharityWatch does not provide a separate rating for the National Women's Law Center Action Fund. CharityWatch separates the ratings for 501(c)(3) & 501(c)(4) organizations, even if their financial activities 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 Sorting Out Nonprofit Pairs page. |
