The USA Transform / USATransform 2021-2025 Schedule I grant rows are also separately supported by public ProPublica-rendered Schedule I captures.

The 2020 Christian Community Foundation Schedule R identifies multiple related tax-exempt organizations whose primary activity is support of Christian Community Foundation / WaterStone. It lists Christian Community Foundation as the direct controlling entity for several of those organizations.
Colorado Times Recorder reported in May 2026 that WaterStone / Christian Community Foundation agreed to acquire Salem Media Group, with the transaction pending FCC approval to transfer Salem licenses. The same reporting says WaterStone had already invested $40 million in Salem before the acquisition announcement. This page treats that as a public reporting layer and a pending relationship lead, not as completed ownership or license control.

2021-2025 USA Transform / USATransform Schedule I row pattern now has a separate public-source capture, but the support-organization, 2019 990-T, and financial-statement context should still be treated as Gmail-package-derived unless separately reconstructed from public sources.2022 ProPublica-rendered row lists 501(C)(13) for USATransform; adjacent rows and the recipient organization record support 501(c)(3) context.
