No Funding for Foreign Agents Act

Key Points

• Would block any organization from getting US money (grants, contracts, loans, vouchers) if it is controlled by an agent tied to certain foreign governments or groups.
• Applies when the foreign link is to covered places including China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, Afghanistan’s current rulers, and several other listed countries.
• Covers both direct funding (like a federal grant or contract) and indirect funding (like government-paid vouchers where the person picks the provider).
• Could force agencies and pass-through groups (including nonprofits that re-grant funds) to check who really controls an organization before money goes out.
• Does not cut off US assistance to groups that are not controlled by these foreign agents, and it says it does not end other types of foreign aid programs.
