CFTC Charitable Organization Exemption Act of 2025

This bill rewrites a section of the Commodity Exchange Act that requires commodity trading advisors and commodity pool operators to register before doing business. It adds an exemption from registration for charitable organizations, and their trustees, staff, and volunteers, when they manage commodity trading or pools only for charities or certain charitable trusts. It also exempts certain church retirement plans and the people who run them. Exempted charities that act for certain charitable investment trusts would have to give disclosures required under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Other existing exemptions, such as for small advisors and SEC-registered advisers, remain in the rewritten section.
