The nonprofit founded by Stacey Abrams has admitted that it broke a Georgia law by aiding her run for governor in 2018. The New Georgia Project paid for fliers and canvassers used by Abrams’s campaign, violating a prohibition on tax-exempt organizations campaigning for candidates. A state ethics body has fined the nonprofit and a related organization, the New Georgia Action Project, a combined $300,000, the largest fine in the agency’s 38 years. Abrams was no longer part of the organization, whose director at the time was Raphael Warnock, later to become a U.S. senator from Georgia. The Internal Revenue Service would not comment on whether it was investigating the group for violating a similar federal law. (New York Times)

Several arts organizations and philanthropies have launched a relief fund for artists affected by the Los Angeles fires. The LA Arts Community Fire Relief Fund has so far collected about $12 million from contributors including Sheikha Al Mayassa bint Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani of Qatar, George Lucas’s and Stephen Spielberg’s foundations, the J. Paul Getty Trust, a collective of Los Angeles’s largest museums, and others. It will be administered by the Center for Cultural Innovation, an arts-support organization, with applications available beginning Monday. (New York Times)
