We’re planning our most ambitious year of work in 2022.

Dear Friend of OpenSecrets,

We only have 4 more days of eligibility for our matching grant. I’m writing to asking you to support our work today, and to have your gift doubled! ([link removed])

I’m sure you’ve heard by now that OpenSecrets has undergone major changes this year. We now have the power of two money-in-politics watchdogs, formerly the Center for Responsive Politics and the National Institute on Money in Politics, under one roof.

But what does this mean for you? Your support is going towards the creation of a one-stop resource; a free website and evidence-based nonprofit newsroom that follows every dollar as it makes its way through our politics at the state and federal level.

In a time where it feels like politicians are choosing their supporters, rather than the other way around, we all deserve the right to know how secret money influences political decisions that impact all of us. Every day we are working to expose seemingly limitless spending ushered in by
Citizens United ([link removed]) , to the dismay of billionaire donor groups who don’t want you to know how much they spend, or who they spend their money on.

You can help our shared mission today. Our donors give on average $36.10, but any amount, $5, $10, $100 — whatever is right for you — enables us to deliver to you factual, comprehensive, non-partisan information on your state and federal representatives. ([link removed])

Support OpenSecrets Today! ([link removed])
You can join us this year — while at least 10 more state legislatures have proposed limits to disclosure laws that require politically active nonprofits to reveal their donors — in our fight for government transparency.

We don’t have endless money or resources. We are sustained by a small but mighty group of donors who believe in our mission. We have over a century of expertise across our researchers, and a team of data wizards who meticulously review volumes of information obtained from state government filings and the FEC.

We do what we do because everyone, regardless of political affiliation, has the right to know how their politicians are funded.

We’re planning our most ambitious year of work in 2022, which is why I am asking you now to help us make the most of our matching grant. We rely on every dollar of support to further our mission. Please consider a gift to OpenSecrets today ([link removed]) ! ([link removed])

With gratitude,

Sheila Krumholz
Executive Director
