Documenting Power * Defending Truth * Demanding Accountability *
The Sunshine Project transforms buried legal records into a secure public archive—featuring accessible data stories, civic education tools, and profiles of those who defend the public trust.
⚙️ This work is a labor of public service—but the infrastructure to protect it is expensive. Your support builds civic tools that can withstand suppression, sabotage, and silence.
All donations are tax-deductible and directly fund publishing, research, and digital security.
