The defenders

The groups doing the most work here

One group is on the record for South Carolina, each tied to it by a source our editors read, in the order they carry the weight. The other one is likely to care: a guess from mission and footprint, with no source tying it to this fight. Give directly; nothing routes through us.

Sources and methodGroup crews and program ratios: IRS Form 990 via ProPublica Nonprofit Explorer, latest filed year, EINs on each group’s profile. Which groups are on the record for South Carolina: MTJP editors tie a group to a fight only with a source link they have read, one link at a time. A group without one is shown as likely to care, a guess from the federal court record and the group’s own mission and footprint. Org-reported figures are always labeled. Data verified as of 2026-09-23. Nothing on this page is pay-to-play.
