for general operating support
Founded in 1983, the Center for Responsive Politics is the nation’s primary research watchdog tracking money in U.S. politics at the federal level and its effect on elections and public policy. The center gathers data on campaign donations, spending, and lobbying, and its expertise makes its data the most reliable available. Through its website, OpenSecrets.org, the center provides timely access to this data, coupled with related analysis. The Center informs researchers, media, and the public at large, enabling the work of voters and activists pursuing a more transparent and responsive U.S. government. A general operating support grant to the center would enable its ongoing provision of accessible, high-quality information on money in politics.
