Get CivicBand's fundraising off the ground. Help start a new movement in government transparency.

As part of a pre-launch for announcing that CivicBand is joining the Raft Foundation, we're kick-starting our fundraising on OpenCollective.

Every day, State and Local governments across the US and Canada hold meetings and make decisions that affect millions of lives. People have a right to know what’s happening in their governments, but exercising that right isn’t always easy: the information is out there– it has to be, by law– but it can be difficult to find, and tedious to sift through. But with CivicBand, you can search through a database of more than 8 million pages (and counting!) of records and meeting minutes from more than 700 municipalities across North America. 

CivicBand is a tool for citizens, activists, journalists, and anyone else that cares about regional issues and holding elected officials to account. We're just getting started, and we’d love for you to get involved.

For being one of the first supporters, at any amount, you'll get:

  • The satisfaction of making civic data available to the public, forever
  • Pre-release updates before they go public
  • Logo or name goes in the project README
  • Access to private repositories
  • A private channel for sponsors community chat space
  • Logo or name on project website
  • Have your bug reports prioritized

This is basically everything at the future tiers up to $100/month, which you could get for $5/month (or ideally more) by being one of our first 100 supporters.
