Politicians come and go. Due-process infrastructure stays.
FederalLimits.org is citizen-funded civic infrastructure. No corporate money. No ads. No data sales.
Every dollar goes directly to tools, research, and outreach — keeping the scorecard current, the rep lookup working, and getting these resources into more hands.
Tips start at $1. Give what you can — every dollar keeps the tools free and the research current.
The tool itself will always be free. Your support builds the accountability layer on top of it — the work a tax-deductible nonprofit can't do, and we can.
File the public-records requests that pry county-level 287(g) enforcement costs into the open — line by line, in places nobody has ever published.
Put every state legislator's name next to how they voted on the bills behind the nine standards.
Keep the contact-your-representatives tool free and current across all 50 states, DC, and Puerto Rico.
Keep the national scorecard, the events feed, and the 52 state report cards updated as the ground shifts.
When a representative votes against a protection their own district asked for, say so out loud — with the receipts attached.
Surface court outcomes and detention data the public can't easily pull together on its own.
We're a 501(c)(4) — which means we can name names and take sides on policy. That's the layer that comes next.
FederalLimits.org is a registered 501(c)(4) social welfare organization. Donations are not tax-deductible. We chose this structure deliberately — it lets us do the accountability work that matters most.
Post your state's grade. Tag your representatives. Every share puts the scorecard in front of someone who can act.
Researchers, writers, designers, developers, FOIA nerds — we're building a volunteer bench. Tell us what you'd bring.
