The Progress for America Voter Fund (PFA-VF), affiliated with Progress for America, Inc. (PFA), was formed May 27, 2004. [1] PFA-VF states on its website that it is "a nonprofit organization under section 527 of the Internal Revenue Code" and a "conservative issue advocacy organization dedicated to setting the issue record straight about these critical issues."

After the Federal Election Commission decided May 13, 2004, to postpone regulating so-called 527 groups (named after the section of the tax code under which they are organized), PFA spun off a 527 committee called the Progress for America Voter Fund (PFA-VF), which ended up pouring $28.8 million into supporting George W. Bush in 2004.
