Note: Purple links are IRS Form 990 grants or Schedule C § 527 transfers; gold links are direct NADC state contributions; blue links are FEC federal receipts. For IRS Form 990 Schedule I grants between tax-exempt organizations, final use is undisclosed — a 990 grant to an intermediary organization that also contributes to a Nebraska committee is shown as a two-hop path for context, not as proof that the grant was earmarked for the contribution.
