Taxpayer & spending transparency
Public money.A clearerpublic record.
A budget should be something people can understand—not a maze they give up on. We’re building clearer ways to follow spending, ask better questions and return to the original record.
No account needed to explore. No donation required.

The practical idea
Where does the money go—and what does it do?
Those are different questions. A payment record shows a payment. A contract shows an award. Neither proves that a program worked, failed or involved fraud. Useful transparency connects the record, the context and the limits of what is known.
We are not a government auditor. Spending is not evidence of waste; suspected fraud is not recovered cash. This appeal does not promise tax savings, recovered money or a right to public funds.

Good questions.
Straight answers.
Are you promising to recover tax money?
No. We are describing public-information work. A budget number is not proof of fraud, and any recovery or reallocation would require the responsible authorities and legal process.
What exactly would support help pay for?
The priorities on this page describe planned work: research and source checks, product maintenance, accessible design, hosting and clear public explanations. They are not a published restricted-fund budget or a promise of a particular result. Ask for a written scope before considering a larger grant or sponsorship.
Who receives the payment?
The payment recipient is Election Powerhouse, Inc., using a dedicated America.co support checkout. The verified hosted link accepts one-time support. This is not the separate Election.org support program.
Is support tax-deductible?
No charitable deduction is promised. This is not presented as a tax-exempt charity appeal. America.co has committed to a public benefit corporation structure; the existing public statement says filing is pending, not complete.
How will I know whether the work is useful?
Use the tools before deciding to support. Inspect the linked sources and methods, report a correction, and ask the team what is planned next. We do not display invented donation totals, testimonials, results or deadlines. Support questions go to jackson@america.co.
Understand first. Support if it fits.
