What is Compact for America Educational Foundation, Inc.?

Compact for America Educational Foundation, Inc. (the “Educational Foundation”) is a not-for-profit tax-exempt educational organization formed under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and is recognized as such by the Internal Revenue Service pursuant to the IRS determination letter dated October 1, 2014.  Additionally, the Educational Foundation was retained to serve as the Compact Administrator for the Compact for a Balanced Budget by the Compact for a Balanced Budget Commission on January 13, 2015 pursuant to a technical services agreement. The only Compact for America entity authorized to influence legislation either directly or by way of grassroots calls to action without regard to said technical advisory services contract is Compact for America, Inc. ("Compact for America Action"), which is a not-for-profit tax-exempt social welfare organization under section 501(c)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code and recognized as such by the Internal Revenue Service. The Educational Foundation is making every effort to ensure its operations are not confused with those of Compact for America Action.
