National Taxpayers Union

This article is part of the Tobacco portal on Sourcewatch funded from 2006 - 2009 by the American Legacy Foundation.

National Taxpayers Union (NTU) is closely related to their "501(c)(3)" (i.e. non-profit) foundation, the National Taxpayers Union Foundation (NTUF).

According to the 990 forms of NTUF, the NTU and NTUF share staff, facilities, web site and board members. Dr. John E. Berthoud is president of both the NTU and the NTUF.

The NTU received from Philip Morris in 1998 a donation of $25,000 ([1], WRO refers to Philip Morris's Washington Relations Office) and one year later $10,000. [2] The Tobacco Institute budgeted for 1999 also a donation to NTU of $10,000. [3]
