What this bill would do

The ``Putting Trust in Transparency Act'' seeks to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. It requires 501(c) organizations that receive Federal funding to publicly disclose the names, zip codes, and total contributions of their donors. This disclosure would apply to the Schedule B of Form 990. The bill aims to provide transparency regarding megadonors of organizations that leverage Federal dollars. Additionally, the bill establishes penalties for organizations that fail to file these specific forms.
