Exactly.
I would also guess that my friend’s sister gets federal or state money, too, but I have never asked her.
If her organization does not conspicuously support one party or another, I’ll guess her work qualifies as taxpayer funded “outreach.”
I researched a few organizations. Most of them presented themselves as education (for social issues) or some BS like that, then when I researched who they were funded by, a lot of it was big liberal orgs like Tide Foundation, labor unions,etc.
