democracies have to use at times illiberal methods to preserve the democracy.......hence i don't agree with such broad generalizations as the publics right to know everything....

and i agree with your question, which basically translates to, that all is allowed unless there is a specific reason to forbid it.

its not a matter of distrust so much as policy. A not for profit is a public organization, i believe all public organizations should have to publicize their doings, etc. as well as their fundings since they are affecting state policy, either for or against the state

Will it "undercut their work'? if we know who is funding them? defending them? possibly but that is the price to pay for such organizations.
