Support Politiko
Keep the lights on.
Keep the records honest.
Politiko is a volunteer-driven civic platform. No ads. No political sponsors. No hidden agenda. If it has been useful to you, consider helping keep it running.
Where It Goes
Every peso is accounted for.
We believe in the same transparency we demand from politicians. Here is exactly how contributions are allocated. Individual donor amounts are never disclosed publicly — only the total collected and how it was distributed.
Platform infrastructure
Web hosting, database, domain name, storage, and any third-party services required to keep the site live, fast, and secure.
Development and maintenance
Compensation for the developers who build new features, fix bugs, improve performance, and keep the codebase healthy. These are real people giving real time.
Vetters — the backbone of Politiko
Half of all collected support goes directly to the vetters: the researchers, fact-checkers, and contributors who read government documents, verify records, and build the profiles you rely on. Without them, there is no data.
Allocation percentages are approximate and may be adjusted as platform costs change. Any changes will be posted here.
Privacy
Your contribution is private.
Individual donor names and amounts are never published or shared. We do not maintain a public donor list. We do not thank supporters by name unless explicitly asked.
What we do publish: the total amount collected per period and how it was distributed across the three categories above. You will be able to see that the money went where we said it would — just not who gave it.
This is deliberate. We do not want any contributor — regardless of how much they give — to have any perceived influence over which profiles are built, how they are scored, or what records are included.
Support us on Patreon
Contributions of any size help. Even a small monthly amount adds up to keeping the platform running and compensating the vetters who make it trustworthy.

Can't donate right now?
That is completely fine. The best thing you can do is use the platform, share it with someone who will vote soon, and tell them to check the record before they decide. That costs nothing and it matters more than money.
