the public ledger
Every dollar, on the record.
This site asks for money as one named person, before there is a company — so the record is public from the first dollar, not from some respectable future. Money in on one side, what got built on the other. Amounts are never joined to names: the potluck table seats supporters by name with no amounts, and this page lists amounts with no names.
Collected for the states
$3
3 payments, each counted the moment Stripe confirmed it
Tips to the builder
$0
chosen at checkout, itemized apart, never counted in any state’s total
Standing monthly support
$0/mo
active monthly gifts only — a lapsed pledge is not money
Money in
One line per confirmed charge: the date it cleared, the state it feeds, and the split when a tip rode along. A refunded charge stays on the record, marked — it is excluded from every total.

Build-outs completed
What the money did, with dates: milestones crossed (computed from the payment record itself, not recalled), tables filled, states brought live, and build updates as they post.

Its pages and data pipeline are up; giving from here keeps it running.
The standing bills this money pays are published line by line on the costs page, and the milestones it works toward are stated there before the money arrives.
Figures are summed from confirmed Stripe payments — never estimated, never rounded up. Timestamps are shown in Central Time; the CSV carries them in UTC. If a number here ever disagrees with a state board or a receipt, that is a bug and we want to hear about it: billing@thedems.org.
