USAID keeps most details of these programs secret, but public records give some insight into what happens to at least some of the tax dollars.
The IRS requires non-profit organizations to file Form 990s, which provides information on the group's mission, programs and finances.
I have written about these 990s from time to time. See, for instance:
- "Pennies for Dissidents"
- "Grupo de Apoyo: Post Game Boy Analysis"
- "Cuba Money Trail: Tale of two Miami non-profits"
- "How much aid reaches Cuba?"
I can't list the ninth organization, Creative Associates International, because it's a private company and does not have to make public its finances. It received $7 million in USAID funds - more than any of the other eight organizations - from August 2008 to June 2012.
The eight non-profit organizations are below, along with USAID grants received and the latest Form 990s that I have been able to obtain. Other groups also receive USAID funds, but these eight are the largest, I believe.
