// The CivicRoot Foundation

CIVIC INFRASTRUCTURE.
FREE FOR EVERYONE.

The CivicRoot Foundation is the non-profit arm of CivicRoot. Our voter tools — Ballot Lookup, Ask AI, and the Civic Action Lab — are free for every voter, forever. Funded by corporate sponsors, foundations, and individual donors. Never by advertising. Never by selling user data.

// The two-arm structure

TWO ARMS. ONE MISSION.

CivicRoot operates two coordinated organizations. The Foundation serves voters and students (free). The Company serves organizations and governments (paid). Same civic mission, two funding models — so mission products never compete with revenue products for resources.

// Why this structure matters

  • No conflict of interest. Voter tools are never influenced by paying customers because paying customers don't fund them.
  • Grant-eligible. The Foundation can accept democracy and civic-tech funding that for-profit companies can't.
  • Aligned incentives. Sponsors get real CSR/ESG impact. Voters get real tools. Nobody's paying to influence the other.

// A note on structure

CivicRoot operates as a two-arm structure with the intent to formalize the Foundation as a 501(c)(3) organization. Foundation programs are already operated separately from revenue-generating products, with sponsor-funded budgets and grant-eligible accounting. Contact us for the current legal-status details.
