The nonprofits aren’t required to disclose their donors. When contributions
are routed through a nonprofit to a political campaign to hide the donation’s
source, it’s called “dark money.”
The contributions seek to stave off a union-backed effort to put the
right-to-work law Greitens signed in February on the 2018 ballot.
