We believe that information about public organizations should be easy to find, easy to understand, and available to everyone. CitizenConnect brings together data from dozens of public sources into clear, comprehensive profiles.
We collect and organize publicly available data about U.S. nonprofit organizations — from IRS Form 990 filings and FEC records to Senate lobbying disclosures, federal contracts, and organizational websites. Our goal is to present this information in a way that helps people discover organizations aligned with their values, understand how they operate, and see where the money goes.
We are a small group of data enthusiasts and civic tech volunteers who work on CitizenConnect in our free time. This is a passion project — not a business. We do this because we believe transparent, well-organized information about public organizations strengthens democracy.
CitizenConnect was originally created by the Bridge Alliance Education Fund as a nonpartisan doorway to civic action, featuring over 600 organizations across the political spectrum. We are deeply grateful to the original team for building such a valuable resource. Our goal is to honor their work and take it even further.
We are constantly researching new data sources and improving how we present information. Our database already includes nearly a thousand organizations with detailed financial histories, leadership teams, governance structures, and program descriptions — and we're growing every week.
Every piece of information on CitizenConnect comes from publicly available sources. We do not collect private data, and we are not affiliated with any political party, government agency, or commercial interest. We are nonpartisan and independent.
We are always open to suggestions. If you know of a data source we should include, an organization we should cover, or a feature that would make the site more useful — we want to hear from you. Every improvement starts with a conversation.
Whether you've spotted outdated information, have a suggestion for a new feature, or just want to say hello — we'd love to hear from you.
