Every Dime. Online. In Real Time.
At OpenTheBooks.com, we work hard to capture and post all disclosed spending at every level of government – federal, state, and local. In 2020, we filed 40,000 Freedom of Information Act requests and successfully captured $6 trillion in public expenditures. We are rapidly growing our data in all 50 states down to the municipal level. We won’t stop until we capture every dime taxed and spent by our government.
As a government watchdog organization, we accept no government funding.
