Help keep government understandable
“You have the right.”
Civibrief turns the machinery of government into something a citizen can navigate and trust, every claim traced to an official record. It's free, works without an account, and shows no ads. It stays that way because people choose to support it. Every dollar goes straight into keeping the data flowing and reaching a larger audience.
Where your support goes
Sourcing, hosting, and the connectors that pull from Congress, the Federal Register, the courts, and the Census all cost money to run reliably. Your support keeps them on.
Funding lets Civibrief grow, more coverage, more civic-education explainers, and getting the tool in front of more first-time readers.
Supporting is patronage, not a paywall. Reading, understanding, and verifying any civic record is free for everyone, forever, supporters just get a few optional, non-civic extras.
