At Rescue Our Democracy (ROD), transparency builds trust. Therefore, we actively show supporters and the public how we use funds and whom we collaborate with. Moreover, sharing this information ensures accountability and clarity.
Our Funding Model
ROD operates as a grassroots organization funded entirely by small donations from supporters and in-kind contributions. Importantly, we do not accept corporate, PAC, or political campaign money.
As a result, all donations go directly toward supporting supplies for staff, educational resources, website maintenance, and tools for civic engagement. Additionally, we continually review expenditures to ensure funds benefit our mission effectively.
Expense Overview
Our primary expenses over the past year include:
| Expense Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Web hosting (1 year) | $215.88 |
| Domain names (1 year) | $173.28 |
| Office supplies & printed materials for Head Guerilla setups and past events | $384.98 |
Consequently, every dollar strengthens our website, expands educational content, and provides practical resources for civic preparation.
Partnerships
ROD partners only with organizations that align with our nonpartisan, pro-democracy mission:
- Indivisible: ROD is honored to be recognized as part of Indivisible. Currently, we focus on educational materials. However, when we expand to events, they will provide guidance and funding support.
- From the American People – Withdrawal from USAID: ROD provides free web hosting for their educational content. No financial exchange occurs.
Furthermore, all partnerships undergo careful review to ensure alignment with our values and editorial independence. Similarly, we continually assess collaborations to maintain transparency and integrity.
