Research finding · Research date 2026-09-15
Common Ground — United We Stand is a documented 501(c)(3) Idaho nonprofit with explicit voter-advocacy objectives
Recorded status: Verified legal/tax-exempt entity status, mailing address, Dixon association, founders and stated voter-advocacy objectives. Funding sources and financial relationships with Reclaim/Idaho Solutions remain unresolved.
This is a dated research record. Its qualifications and open questions are part of the account. Association alone does not establish wrongdoing or control.
Common Ground — United We Stand is now independently identifiable as a tax-exempt legal nonprofit, not merely an informal coalition brand. IRS-derived/public charity records list COMMON GROUND--UNITED WE STAND, EIN 33-2300740, as a 501(c)(3) organization at PO Box 859, Kimberly, Idaho 83341, with IRS exemption/ruling dating to June 2025. A tax-exempt directory lists it c/o Chenele Dixon. Common Ground official materials use the same PO Box 859 and state that Chenele Dixon and Charlie Conrad founded the coalition in 2024. Its official objectives explicitly include building a coalition of current/former legislators and candidates, conducting outreach/media advocacy, working with voters and voter-advocacy groups, and encouraging support for candidates who align with its good-governance principles. Oregon legislative testimony in 2026 identifies Common Ground as a nonpartisan nonprofit supporting primary-system reform. These records upgrade Common Ground from an informal network label to a documented c3 legal/advocacy entity. No evidence in this finding establishes that Reclaim Idaho or Idaho Solutions controls or funds Common Ground, or that Common Ground shares bank accounts or management with either entity.
