5Rights Foundation

UK registered charity 1178581 and company limited by guarantee 11271356[3][4]

81of 100[1]

Finding: The broadest verified state-law portfolio and the clearest documented foreign-principal lobbying chain.[1][5][6]

Foreign/U.S. structure: UK legal entity; U.S. state campaign led from the foundation and through U.S. coalitions and a FARA-registered consultant.[3][7][6]

Foreign-principal/control evidence: The DOJ FARA exhibit for Capitol Connection identifies 5Rights Foundation as the foreign principal for a $50,000 retainer and California AB 2273 coalition and lobbying work; this is direct foreign-principal evidence for that engagement.[6] The reviewed funding records identify private philanthropic support, while the public record does not show a funder agreement directing 5Rights' U.S. legislative strategy.[4][8][9]

Government funding: The 2025 Charity Commission return reports £1.770 million in grants and donations and £1.807 million total income.[4] The return and bounded GrantNav review identify private philanthropic support; the reviewed award search produced zero government grant or contract records.[4][8][9]

Government affiliation: Founder and honorary president Baroness Beeban Kidron is a sitting Crossbench peer.[10][11] Trustee Elizabeth Denham is a former UK Information Commissioner; chair Sir Peter Wanless previously held senior public-sector roles.[10]

Federal lobbying: Capitol Connection disclosed a $10,000 monthly retainer for May–September 2022—$50,000—and work on AB 2273 involving coalition-building, direct lobbying, letters, and amendments.[6]

State record: Bill support is documented in state analyses and public campaign pages.[12][7][5] The bounded registry review produced zero additional named state lobbying-expenditure records under 5Rights.[9]

UK company 11633127 and affiliated U.S. 501(c)(3), EIN 86-2006080[13][14]

71of 100[1]

Finding: The strongest speech-control portfolio in the screen, paired with a former UK technology minister on the board and a modest but quantifiable U.S. lobbying record.[1][15][16][17]

Foreign/U.S. structure: Transatlantic NGO brand; the California support record names CCDH without separating the UK and U.S. entities.[13][14][18][12][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29]

Foreign-principal/control evidence: CCDH's U.K. company and U.S. 501(c)(3) are legally distinct affiliates; the U.S. affiliate reported $4.249 million of 2024 revenue, almost all as contributions, while the reviewed U.K. government answer reported no DSIT or Ofcom funding.[13][14][30] The public record establishes cross-entity branding and leadership ties, but does not identify a U.K. parent appointment right, grant condition, or instruction controlling the U.S. affiliate's lobbying; the separate FARA request sought investigation rather than documenting a registration.[13][15][31][9]

Government funding: A 2025 UK parliamentary answer records zero DSIT or Ofcom funding to CCDH in the period addressed.[30] The U.S. affiliate reported $4.249 million in 2024 revenue, almost all as contributions.[14]

Government affiliation: Former MP and former technology minister Damian Collins is a current director of the UK company.[15][32][16] Companies House also records former directors Morgan McSweeney and Kirsty McNeill.[15]

Federal lobbying: Deduplicated Senate records show $50,000 paid to Lot Sixteen in 2021–2022 and $5,698.31 of in-house lobbying expense in 2026 Q1, for $55,698.31 total disclosed expense.[33][34][35][17]

State record: Official California records list CCDH as a supporter of five measures and quote its arguments on SB 771.[18][12][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29]

Reset network / Reset Tech Action

Network containing Reset Tech UK Ltd, Reset Tech Action gGmbH, and U.S. 501(c)(4) Reset Tech Action[36][37][38]

69of 100[1]

Finding: The largest disclosed U.S. lobbying operation in the ranked set, with state advocacy carried by a U.S. affiliate inside a transnational network.[1][36][39][40][41]

Foreign/U.S. structure: The network describes its country entities collectively as one organization; verified U.S. state lobbying was conducted by its U.S. arm.[36][37][38]

Foreign-principal/control evidence: Reset's own structure page describes a global network governed by a board, funded by foundations across Europe and North America, and operating through U.S., U.K., German, and Australian entities.[42][36] Reset Tech UK Limited's two directors are Ben Scott and Poppy Wood; Companies House records Scott with at least 75% of voting rights and the right to appoint or remove directors, and Wood with more than 25% but not more than 50% of voting rights.[43][44] Ben Scott is also the U.S. 501(c)(4)'s president/director and authorized its Maryland lobbying registration; the 2024 Form 990 reports three voting governing-body members and two independent members, and Schedule R identifies the related D.C. c3 rather than a foreign entity.[45][46] The overlap strengthens a foreign-control inquiry, but the reviewed public records do not show the U.K. entity appointing the U.S. board, approving U.S. lobbying, or conditioning funding on U.S. political activity.[44][45][42][9]

Government funding: Reset Tech UK reported £1.571 million of 2024 turnover—revenue—with £1.523 million of entity-wide administrative expenses.[47] A follow-up procurement search identified Reset Tech GmbH in a five-member consortium awarded a €4.861 million, 36-month European Commission DSA-monitoring contract; the notice reports the consortium total and leaves Reset's share unitemized.[48]

Government affiliation: Reset chief executive Ben Scott previously served as a policy adviser at the U.S. State Department.[49] The score treats this as a limited historical personnel nexus.[1]

Federal lobbying: Deduplicated direct-client LDA reports total $1,222,500 from 2024 through 2026 Q2.[39] The calculation excludes $115,500 in subcontractor reports already contained within direct-client totals.[39]

State record: Maryland reports $100,000 in 2024 employer expenditures and identifies six mapped state-bill engagements, including HB 567 and SB 541 in activity report A033321.[40][50][51][52] Nebraska records verify $30,300 through Q3 2025: $23,120.29 in Q2 compensation plus a $300 reimbursement, and $6,879.71 in Q3 compensation.[53][41] The Nebraska governor credited more than a year of work with Reset on enacted LB 504.[54]

Foreign/U.S. structure: UK trade body representing suppliers with a direct commercial stake in age-verification mandates.[55][56][72]

Foreign-principal/control evidence: AVPA is a U.K.-incorporated, member-controlled trade body; Companies House lists Iain Corby and Alastair Graham as its directors, and AVPA identifies an executive committee drawn from member companies plus a U.S.-based technology strategist managing its U.S. work.[55][73] Its documented public-funding link is participation in the €1.4 million European Commission-funded euConsent pilot; AVPA's individual allocation and any terms directing U.S. advocacy remain unitemized.[74]

Government funding: AVPA says it played a leading role in the €1.4 million European Commission-funded euConsent pilot.[74] Public materials leave AVPA's individual allocation unitemized.[74] Membership fees for 2026 run from £3,500 to £11,000.[72]

Government affiliation: The documented government nexus is participation in the European Commission-funded euConsent project.[74]

Federal lobbying: The Senate LDA API returned zero filings under the screened organization name.[75]

State record: AVPA left an extensive public record through committee testimony, written submissions, and a U.S. Supreme Court amicus brief.[57][58][59][60][61][62][63][64][65][66][67][68][69][70][71] Those records disclose advocacy activity; the federal LDA search reports zero paid-lobbying filings under AVPA's name.[57][58][59][60][61][62][63][64][65][66][67][68][69][70][71][75]

Institute for Strategic Dialogue

ISD UK is a UK charity and company; ISD-US is a separate Washington, D.C. 501(c)(3) nonprofit formed in 2009.[76][77][78]

supplemental

Finding: ISD is a legally separate but operationally connected transatlantic network. The reviewed federal LDA filings are under ISD-US; ISD UK accounts document reciprocal inter-entity funding and shared U.S. election-response work.[76][78][79]

Foreign/U.S. structure: ISD UK and ISD-US are legally separate entities. ISD's strategic-plan document describes historical board overlap that allowed collective decision-making, while the current governance page lists separate UK and U.S. boards.[76][80] The 2024 UK accounts describe the network as separate entities that share a mission and state that ISD UK makes its own strategic, programmatic, and operating decisions.[78]

Governance-separation chronology and FARA relevance: The public language changed in stages. ISD UK's 2021 accounts described the U.S. and German organizations as sister organizations and planned a major expansion of U.S. work through ISD-US; the 2022 accounts emphasized effective co-working and improved inter-entity working across all geographies, without an autonomy disclaimer.[81][82] A strategic-plan document apparently created in 2022 is the earliest located text that says the UK and U.S. entities are legally separate, but it also says a majority of board members historically sat on both boards so decisions could be taken collectively. The document's displayed rosters do not make that claimed majority overlap independently clear, so the extent of overlap cannot be confirmed from that document alone.[80] The 2023 accounts are the first located UK filing to use the later legal-accounting formulation: ISD entities are separate legal entities, and ISD UK makes its own decisions on key operating policies. They also record that the UK CEO moved to ISD-US in September 2023, after which UK management functions were performed jointly by a COO and managing director.[83] The website adopted the separation language later than the accounts. Archived ISD-US and ISD UK pages from September 2023 and April 2024 presented the U.S. work through ISD's global operation and used footers identifying only the England-registered ISD company. The page metadata records a 1 November 2024 modification; the first located post-change captures, 18 December 2024, explicitly identified ISD-US as a D.C. 501(c)(3) formed in 2009 and listed ISD UK, ISD-US, Germany, France, and Jordan as distinct entities.[84][85][86][87][88][89] The 2024 accounts then expanded the formulation to say ISD UK makes all its own decisions on key strategic, programmatic, and operating policies; they also report a governance audit and updated governance structures. The timing and increasingly categorical wording are consistent with compliance-aware or defensive positioning as ISD-US's U.S. government and lobbying profile grew, but none of the reviewed governance, accounts, or website materials mentions FARA or says the wording was adopted for FARA purposes.[78][79][90] There was a real formal change: separate U.S. incorporation, separate accounts, separately listed boards, a U.S.-based management transition, and a 2024 governance review. There was not a clean operational separation: the network still describes consistency across entities, the strategic plan records collective decision-making through historic board overlap, and the UK accounts document grants, reciprocal funding, and shared work with ISD-US. Under FARA, legal separateness alone does not resolve whether a U.S. entity acts at the order, request, direction, or control of a foreign principal; the public record therefore supports a compliance rationale as a hypothesis, not a proved motive or dispositive agency conclusion.[76][80][78][90][91]

Foreign-principal/control evidence: ISD UK is a foreign-organized charity with a substantial government and multilateral funding stream; its 2024 accounts report £2,957,283 in that category and record a £363,710 grant to ISD-US, alongside other inter-entity funding flows.[78][92][93] ISD's historical governance record shows a transition from collective network decision-making and integrated inter-entity working toward more explicit legal and policy autonomy language. That transition is relevant to control analysis, but it does not by itself establish that ISD UK directed ISD-US's U.S. advocacy.[80][82][83][78] The combination of foreign government funding, inter-entity grants, and historic board overlap is the strongest control indicator in this profile set; the autonomy language and absence of a located FARA registration leave the direction-of-U.S.-advocacy question unresolved.[78][80][90]

Government funding: ISD UK reported £2,957,283 of government and multilateral income in 2024, equal to 48.27% of total income; its funders page names the U.S. State Department, DHS, and DOJ among public funders.[78][93] The 2024 accounts record £363,710 paid from ISD UK to ISD-US and £1,134,755 of income from other ISD entities; a separate related-party note reports £1,427,646 of net funding received from ISD-US. These are distinct accounting lines, not additive totals.[92][78]

Government interaction: Before ISD-US's formation on August 19, 2009, the reviewed public record did not locate a federal or state lobbying filing or a named official U.S. government interaction for ISD UK; the earliest concrete U.S. government records located are from 2015 onward.[76][79][90] In 2015, ISD co-hosted a Washington summit with CSIS connected to a State Department International Visitor Leadership Program and ISD CEO Sasha Havlicek testified before the House Foreign Affairs Committee as the head of London-based ISD.[94][95] Later records show ISD co-hosting a 2021 State Department Summit for Democracy event, an ISD witness at a 2022 House disinformation hearing, and ISD-US's 2026 Q2 State Department counterterrorism briefing.[96][97][98]

Federal lobbying: The Senate LDA search returned eight ISD-US filings from 2025 Q1 through 2026 Q2. Four 2025 quarterly reports disclose no activity; the 2026 reports identify congressional communications on national security, Iran, violence, threats to public officials, children's online safety, and a State Department briefing.[79][99][100][101][102][103][104][105][98] The reviewed DOJ FARA search located no registration under Institute for Strategic Dialogue, ISD, or ISD-US.[90]

State record: ISD joined a 2024 coalition letter urging California's governor to sign SB 1047; the bill was later vetoed.[106][107]

The public CCDH-related FARA document located was an October 2024 request asking DOJ to investigate whether CCDH's U.S. and UK entities must register; it is a request for investigation rather than a FARA registration filing.[90][31]

ISD UK interactions with the U.S. government

ISD UK was founded in 2008 and ISD-US was incorporated on August 19, 2009. The pre-formation review located no public federal or state lobbying filing or named official U.S. government interaction for ISD UK between those dates; the first concrete records located begin in 2015. From 2015 onward, the record shows an ISD/CSIS summit connected to a State Department visitor program, House testimony by ISD's London-based CEO, ISD's role in the Strong Cities Network, a State Department Summit for Democracy event co-hosted with ISD, and later ISD congressional testimony. The 2026 Q2 LDA report records ISD-US's briefing for the State Department Counterterrorism Bureau.[76][94][95][190][96][97][98]

Method and boundaries

How this focused version was assembled

Profile transfer

The four ranked profiles preserve the identity, funding, affiliation, lobbying, state-record, score, and flag findings from ranks 1–4 of the original report; ISD is added as a supplemental profile with separate entity, funding, filing, and government-interaction evidence.[2][1][76] Each factual sentence now carries inline numbered footnotes linked to the underlying filing, official record, organizational disclosure, or reproducible search artifact.

Engagement maps

The combined map draws the dedicated 5Rights 42-bill dataset together with qualifying CCDH, Reset, and AVPA records from the original restrictive-law screen.[191][5][192][1] The four checkboxes filter the displayed organizations. Map colors collapse outcomes into Passed (including budget enactments), Failed (including substitutions), Partial (all other mapped outcomes), and No engagement.[193][191]

Coordination definition

A graph edge records a cited engagement by an organization on a numbered state or national bill. A shared node records two or more organizations connected to the same legislative vehicle; “Possible” marks an issue-level overlap rather than a paid filing. The state-by-state maps intentionally exclude the national records. Contractual direction, shared financing, and joint planning remain separate relationship questions requiring their own evidence.

Coverage limits

The 5Rights atlas is current through 18 July 2026; the CCDH and AVPA maps inherit the original report's 25 July 2026 cutoff. The Reset map incorporates the Maryland activity-report follow-up completed on 26 July 2026.[5][1][50] California's support lists use the CCDH brand without allocating each act between its UK and U.S. entities.[13][14][18][12][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29] The euConsent source states the consortium's €1.4 million budget and AVPA's leading role while leaving AVPA's allocation unitemized.[74]
