Support our work

How can you support this work?

• Use this site. Inform yourself and get involved! The world is run by the people who show up.
• Send us feedback and suggestions we can act on. If you see something wrong with a town page, let us know how to fix it! (NOTE: we're not partisan, so we're going for a clear summary, not trying to influence someone)
• Adopt a town -- municipal governments do their best, but a lot of what they do is part time and ad-hoc. Helping a town (or towns) improve access to the information helps everyone!
• And, of course, you can send us money, because this site costs money.

This site is run by a single engineer in his spare time, and it costs money to host and to keep it up to date. If you find it useful, you can help pay for the systems and time that keep it going.

As of early November 2026, this site is around 18,000 pages covering 262 towns and about 25% of the US population.

What your support buys:

• hosting service -- I use the lowest cost I can, but it has cost
• updates -- towns are updated every 7 days. Those continuous updates take resources.
• adding new towns -- also takes resources
• improving services -- if we can get ongoing support we can commit to services which allow faster and better updates
• improving the data -- making sure we can get as much data as possible and it's well formatted takes time.

It would love to garner enough support to pay for development hours to solve problems more deeply, but supporting it's own costs would be wonderful. Recurring donations are best because it allows planning for the future, so $1/month is better than a $10 single donation, if you can manage that.

Payments are made through PayPal. Monthly support can be cancelled at any time from your PayPal account.
