Can 501(c)(4) non-profits fund political candidates' campaigns?

Unlike a 501(c)(3), 501(c)(3)s can engage in political activity, endorse candidates, etc.

Yes, if it is not their primary function. The money may not be exempt from income tax though. See the IRC Sec. 501, Sec. 527. See this IRS presentation on the topic.
