Common Questions
Is my donation tax-deductible?
We have filed for 501(c)(3) status and expect approval within 2–4 weeks. Once approved, all donations will be retroactively tax-deductible. We will email every donor a formal receipt for tax purposes.
How is my donation used?
100% of donations fund public tool development, court record acquisition, and infrastructure. We do not run ads, sell data, or pay salaries from donation revenue. See the transparency breakdown above.
Can I donate monthly?
Yes — every tier above has a monthly option via Stripe. Monthly donors sustain our work and receive priority access to new features.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept all major credit and debit cards via Stripe's secure checkout. No account required.
