Today I filed a formal complaint with the IRS, challenging the tax exempt status of The Heritage Foundation as a 501(c)(3) organization. I specifically singled out Roger Severino, a VP of Political affairs and the man who wrote Section 14 of #Project2025, on The DHHS.
Anyone can do this. The Heritage Foundation's EIN# is public record.
Will anything happen? No.
But if everyone starts singing "Alice's Resturaunt" then maybe, just maybe, something might.
@Animeraider fyi, if you intend to follow up a la our friend Chris, here are just 6 501(c)(3) violations:
1) Private Benefit & Inurement. 501c3 rules can be broken in cases where an individual is unfairly benefiting from the organization's operations
2) Excessive Lobbying
3) Political activity
4) Unrelated Business Income
5) Failure to Submit Annual Reports
6) Operation in accord with stated exempt purpose(s)
2 and 3 look to be slam dunks.

@guinnessphil I filed against Roger Severino specifically on purpose. He's a VP and is even listed on the website, and he is listed as the author of section 14 of the #Project2025 manifesto. He was also an official in the Trump Administration.
It's all there. I mostly used Item 3 in your list.
