The Proteus Action League (PAL) is the 501(c)(4) lobbying and advocacy arm of the Proteus Fund. PAL supports and opposes specific legislation and referenda regarding the death penalty, campaign financing, the LGBT interests, and other issues in which the Proteus Fund is actively involved. ¹

Background

Creation

The Proteus Action League was formed in Washington, D.C. in December 2002, but is physically headquartered in Amherst, Massachusetts alongside its 501(c)(3) “sister” nonprofit, the Proteus Fund. ² In December 2003, PAL was certified to operate in Massachusetts. ³

According to its filing documents with Massachusetts, PAL’s original board of directors consisted of Proteus Fund founder Margaret “Meg” Gage, Donna Edwards, and Michael Caudell-Feagan.

Donor Collaboratives

Like its 501(c)(3) counterpart, the Proteus Fund, PAL manages a number of fiscally sponsored “donor collaboratives” focused on different issue areas.

Piper Action Fund

Also see Piper Action Fund (Nonprofit Project)

The Piper Action Fund is the advocacy and lobbying arm of the Piper Fund, which is hosted by the PAL’s 501(c)(3) “sister” nonprofit Proteus Fund.

Both the Piper Action Fund and Piper Fund advocate for center-left campaign finance reform policies and were among Proteus Fund’s first “donor collaboratives.” Their efforts have been heavily funded by the Voqal Fund, a center-left communications funder. ⁴

Proteus Fund founder Meg Gage started the Piper Fund in 1997, with the intention of increasing government control over election-related speech. It’s unclear when the Piper Action Fund was formed, though it was likely created sometime after PAL’s formation in 2002. ⁵ The Piper Fund allocated “about $1.8 million in grants to 53 organizations in 38 states working on campaign finance reform,” starting in 1998. ⁶

The Proteus Fund has also funded efforts for disclosure of funders of political advertisements, including those made by independent organizations. ⁷ Ironically, the Piper Fund, while it discloses some of its donors, “acknowledges it receives money from anonymous givers and ‘numerous other individual donors.’” ⁸

In 2017, the Proteus Action League reported program expenditures for the Piper Action Fund totaling $859,593. ⁹

RISE Together Action Fund

Also see RISE Together Action Fund (Nonprofit Project)

The RISE Together Action Fund (formerly Security and Rights Action Fund)

In 2017, the Proteus Action League reported program expenditures for the Security and Rights Action Fund totaling $24,164. ¹⁰

Funding Sources

Proteus Action League is an IRS-designated 501(c)(4) social welfare organization, and as such is not required by IRS regulation to disclose its donors.

However, some grantors have detailed their grants to PAL. Atlantic Philanthropies, a Bermuda-based private foundation (and thus not held to normal IRS grantmaking restrictions), gave $34,147,709 in grants to PAL between 2008 and 2015. Atlantic Philanthropies made grants in support of a number of PAL projects, including the Themis Fund (“Death Penalty Abolition Campaign”), RISE Together Action Fund (formerly Security and Rights Action Fund), and the “National Security Human Rights Action Fund.” ¹³
