HOUSE V. FIELD:

Scandal-plagued pro-Trump nonprofit was quietly dissolved after sketchy cash giveaways (Roger Sollenberger, 9/10/20, Salon)

The Urban Revitalization Coalition (URC), a controversial nonprofit organization run by two of President Trump's most prominent Black surrogates, appears to have been effectively closed down this spring after reports that its cash giveaways to Black voters may have violated IRS rules governing nonprofits.

The shutdown happened before the IRS automatically revoked the group's tax status on May 15 for "not filing a Form 990-series return or notice for three consecutive years." The URC was eventually placed on the IRS "Automatic Revocation List" on Aug. 11, and, according to co-founder Darrell Scott -- a Cleveland pastor closely allied to the Trump campaign -- was first notified of this by CNN.
