THE TRUTH

OFAC also administers economic and trade sanctions based on U.S. foreign policy and national security goals against targeted foreign countries. U.S. persons, including U.S.-based charities and donors, are generally prohibited from supporting charities or other organizations working in sanctioned jurisdictions unless the appropriate registration and license is acquired from OFAC. A full description of all country sanctions programs administered by OFAC can be found at http://www.treas.gov/offices/enforcement/ofac/programs/. OFAC has developed guidelines for non-governmental organizations wishing to undertake humanitarian activities in sanctioned countries. These guidelines can be found at http://www.treas.gov/offices/enforcement/ofac/regulations/ngo_reg.pdf.
