Project Veritas, a tax-exempt public charity, purports to expose what it calls dishonesty and corruption. The $1.7 million came through Donors Trust, a type of tax-exempt charity called a donor-advised fund (DAF). Wealthy donors made at least 15 tax-deductible contributions to Project Veritas through Donors Trust in 2016, gifts that amounted to more than a third of the $4.9 million Project Veritas received that year, IRS filings show. Project Veritas received about $1.5 million through Donors Trust in 2015, documents show. A Project Veritas spokesman declined to answer questions about the donations and referred questions to Donors Trust.
