for general operating support  
The Project On Government Oversight (POGO) works toward a more responsive and effective government by bolstering the separation of powers and the balance between branches that are at the foundation of our democratic system. POGO works with policymakers throughout the government to craft and promote solutions to improve effectiveness, and it enhances congressional capacity through training staff to responsibly fulfill Congress’ oversight mission and help prevent executive overreach. POGO builds partnerships across the country to uplift these reforms to improve overall government effectiveness in a just and equitable manner. A government that is effective and responsive to the needs of the public strengthens our democracy.
