What is RepresentUs Education Fund? How is it different from RepresentUs?
RepresentUs Education Fund (RUEF) is a national, nonpartisan 501(c)(3) organization challenging the undue influence of well-financed special interests over American politics and government. RUEF supports public education, research, and online and traditional grassroots organizing to amplify the issue of dark money in politics and corruption and increase civic participation.
RUEF inspires people to become a part of the pro-democracy movement and empowers them to enact meaningful and lasting change in their own communities. All donations to RUEF are tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowable under law.
RepresentUs is the advocacy and political arm that supports legislative campaigns in cities and states across the country to pass laws that put power in the hands of voters. It’s through this direct advocacy that we achieve meaningful structural change to our political system, with the goal of making America the world’s strongest democracy by 2050, city by city, state by state. RepresentUs is a 501(c)(4) organization and donations are not tax-deductible as a charitable contribution or business expense.

How is RepresentUs funded?
Like many nonprofit organizations, RepresentUs and RepresentUs Education Fund receive sustaining support from monthly donors, individuals, organizations, and foundations. Because we advocate for transparency in political spending, we ask that our own donors be transparent as well.
A full list of donors can be found on our website and is updated annually.
