POLISCOPE

Support the work

Funds nonpartisan voter guides and public-record explainers, free for everyone.

POLISCOPE CIVIC FOUNDATION INC runs on contributions, not advertising. It is built on records that are already yours. Contributions cover the cost of collecting them, connecting them, and keeping them online.

Contribute

Support our mission.

Government does not stop being consequential just because nobody is covering it. Somebody still rezones the land, awards the contract, and writes the budget.

Contributions pay the cloud bill behind that record: collecting it, connecting it, and keeping it online. They are also what keeps POLISCOPE clear of advertising, and what pays for the work of explaining the record to the public: plain-English summaries, guides, and more of it opened up as the resources allow.
