Western Futures Fund
Who they are
Western Futures Fund is a nonprofit with documented grantmaking, electoral-program spending and contracted operations. Its FY2024 filing identifies Blue Moon Strategies as responsible for day-to-day operations. Schedule C reports political payments to Your Community PAC, Retire Career Politicians Inc., Way Back PAC and Wyoming Way PAC. A January 2026 federal filing separately identifies Western Futures as Way Back’s connected organization; an earlier December 2023 filing did not. The research also documents a FY2024 grant to Idahoans United for Women and Families and funding received from New Venture Fund. These records establish specific organizational and financial relationships while leaving individual grant-approval decisions and same-dollar tracing unresolved.
