My impression is that The Fund for the Feminist Majority is a PAC -- a
 political action committee.  That is: they collect money from individuals,
 and then turn around and give it to candidates.  As far as I can tell --
 as someone who's contributed to them -- it is a legitimate PAC.

(Opinions vary on whether PACs themselves are a good thing.  I'm not sure...
 but as long as they exist, I'll support the ones I agree with.)
