Federal Grants ≠ Campaign Funds
Federal grant funds cannot legally be used for lobbying or electioneering; co-located 501(c)(3)/(c)(4)/PAC clusters operate via separate legal entities.
Nebraska Federal Grants (FY2021–FY2022) & IRS 990 Schedule I Intermediaries · Verified public filings (117 rows ready)
Methodology & Statutory Guardrails — USAspending.gov, IRS Form 990 Schedule I & Co-Located Clusters
How to read these three datasets together: IRS Schedule I grants do not earmark which upstream donor or federal award funded a specific downstream grant unless reported as a federal subaward. Federal grant funds cannot legally be used for political campaign intervention or federal lobbying (31 U.S.C. § 1352, Byrd Amendment). Showing these records side-by-side documents each entity's public filings without implying that restricted federal or charitable grant dollars were diverted to campaign accounts.
