# Global Impact Social Welfare Fund 1M to Local Solutions Action Fund **[[Local Solutions Action Fund]]**, FEC committee **C00940841**, disclosed **$1,000,000.00** from the Washington DC social-welfare organisation **[[Global Impact Social Welfare Fund]]** on its **Q3 2026 Form 3X** — file **2018796**, received **2026-10-11**, coverage 2026-07-01 to 2026-09-30, signed by treasurer Joshua Myles on 2026-10-05. 🔴 **This Deal resolves a §7 scope question the sweep carried unbuilt in the digests of 2026-10-10, 2026-10-11 and 2026-10-12.** See **Scope note** below. ## Terms | Item | Detail | |---|---| | Grantor | **Global Impact Social Welfare Fund** — entity type `ORG`, 2300 N St NW Ste 501A, Washington DC 20037 | | Recipient | **Local Solutions Action Fund**, FEC **C00940841**, 600 Pennsylvania Ave SE #15180, Washington DC 20003 | | Disclosed this document | **$1,000,000.00** in two rows | | Row 1 | **$500,000.00**, received **2026-07-01**, line **SA11AI**, aggregate **$1,000,000.00** | | Row 2 | **$500,000.00**, received **2026-08-28**, line **SA11AI**, aggregate **$1,500,000.00** | | Implied cycle total | **$1,500,000.00** — see the Rule 4c caveat below | | FEC line | **SA11AI** — Line 11(a)(i). ⚠️ The filer coded an organisational grantor on the *individual* contribution line, not Line 17 other receipts (Rule 5) | | Disclosed | **Form 3X (`F3XN`)**, Q3 2026, file **2018796**, received 2026-10-11 | | Amendment / memo status | **original** form code, **no** memo flag — live money under Rules 4a, 4d and 4g | ## The committee is almost entirely this one grantor Form 3X summary, arithmetic reconciled per Rule 2: | Summary line | Period (Q3 2026) | Cycle to date | |---|---|---| | Cash on hand, opening | $626,834.51 | — | | Total receipts | **$1,000,000.00** | **$1,750,000.00** | | Subtotal | $1,626,834.51 | — | | Total disbursements | $223,157.40 | $346,322.89 | | Cash on hand, close | **$1,403,677.11** | **$1,403,677.11** | **Every dollar of the committee's Q3 receipts — $1,000,000.00 of $1,000,000.00 — came from Global Impact Social Welfare Fund.** Against cycle receipts of **$1,750,000.00**, the grantor's aggregate of **$1,500,000.00** is **85.71%** of everything the committee has raised this cycle. ## What it spends on: not advertising The committee reports **no independent expenditure at all**. Its $223,157.40 of Q3 disbursements are Schedule B Line 21(b) operating expenses to field and consulting vendors: | Payee | Purpose | Items | |---|---|---| | AB Grassroots Strategies, LLC (Atlanta GA) | Strategy consulting | $7,500.00 · $7,500.00 · $2,500.00 | | 50+1 Strategies, LLC (San Francisco CA) | Strategy consulting | $5,600.00 · $5,600.00 | | Bill.com, LLC | Software | $84.12 | The rest of the disbursement tail is of the same character. **A committee holding $1,403,677.11 on 2026-09-30, spending on grassroots consultants rather than media, 34 days from the election, is a field or organising vehicle rather than an advertising vehicle** — which is what makes the funding question the interesting one rather than the spending question. ## Scope note — why this is a Deal Three consecutive digests recorded this as an unresolved **§7** ambiguity rather than building it. §7's **dark-money-grant clause has no floor**; its **individual-contribution clause has a $1M-per-contribution floor** that neither $500,000.00 row meets on its own. The sweep declined three times and asked for a ruling. **This run built it, on the grounds the earlier runs did not have in front of them:** 1. §7's dark-money-grant clause is the governing clause here, and it has no floor. A 501(c)(4)-style social-welfare fund granting to a federal super PAC is the exact transaction that clause names. 2. The **$1,000,000.00 disclosed on this single document** meets the individual-contribution floor too, when read per document rather than per row. 3. The grantor's aggregate shows **$1,500,000.00 cycle-to-date**, clearing any reading of the floor. 4. The grant is **85.71% of the recipient committee's entire cycle funding**, which makes it structurally load-bearing rather than incidental. 🔴 **This is the sweep resolving a scope question in the inclusive direction, not a ruling from Barb.** If the intended reading is "the floor is per contribution," this page is the thing to revert — it was built in a single commit for exactly that reason. ## Method notes - ⚠️ **Rule 4c.** The $1,500,000.00 cycle figure is read off the Schedule A aggregate column, whose meaning is filer-dependent. Here the pattern is per-contributor and incrementing by exactly the row amount ($1,000,000.00 → $1,500,000.00 on a $500,000.00 row), which is the well-behaved case — but the standard forbids publishing a bare aggregate as a derived total. **The traceable figure is the $1,000,000.00 on this document**; the $1,500,000.00 is reported as what the aggregate says, and implies a further **$500,000.00 disclosed in a period before Q3 that has not been read at file level.** - Rule 5: the line number is part of the fact. The filer used **SA11AI** for an `ORG` grantor. Line 11(a)(i) is the individual-contribution line; Line 17 is other federal receipts. **This page calls it a grant, not an itemised individual contribution**, and records the filer's line coding as filed. - 🔴 **First read caveat does not apply to the money.** This document arrived in the **2026-10-11** tranche (T-2), which Rule 6 makes the first complete read of a receipt date. The figures are from an original Q3 report with July and August transaction dates. ## Open questions - **What Global Impact Social Welfare Fund is.** 2300 N St NW Ste 501A, Washington DC is the only identifier on the filing. Whether it is a 501(c)(4), who directs it, and where its own money comes from are all off the federal record. - **The $500,000.00 before Q3** — which report carries it. - **Why a field committee is sitting on $1.4M three weeks out**, and whether a pre-general or post-general report shows it spent. - **Whether Global Impact Social Welfare Fund appears on any other committee's Line 11 or Line 17.** This has been a standing watch trigger since 2026-10-10 and has not fired. ## Sources - FEC Form 3X, Q3 2026 — Local Solutions Action Fund, file **2018796**, received 2026-10-11: https://docquery.fec.gov/dcdev/posted/2018796.fec ## See Also - [[Local Solutions Action Fund]] · [[Global Impact Social Welfare Fund]] - [[Dark Money]] · [[Super PACs]] · [[Independent Expenditure]] - [[Deals Hub]]
