Why pick 527 vs 501(c)(4)? Specifically asking about your thoughts on the disclosure requirements w/ 527

This is an area I know enough to be dangerous in, so would love to learn more if anyone has resources.

From my understanding a 501(c)(4) is a social welfare organization that can engage in political activity as long as it isn't its primary purpose. I didn't want to risk us breaking that restriction.

The IRS pages, FEC pages, and wikipedia is where I spent most of my time studying these orgs: https://www.irs.gov/charities-non-profits/other-non-profits/...
