Keep this free
Everything on this site is free and always will be. No account, no paywall, no selling anyone’s data. That only works because people who already found what they needed decide to leave something behind for the next person.
We answer what the government does not
Official pages are accurate and close to unreadable. Law firm blogs are readable and built to sell you something. We sit in between, in plain language, and we link back to the official source every single time so you never have to take our word for it.
In English and in Spanish, on purpose
Translation is not an afterthought here and it is not run through a machine. Someone who reads Spanish should get the same answer, at the same reading level, on the same day.
We check the facts on a schedule, not when someone complains
Test rules change. Links rot. Every page on this site carries the date it was last checked against the agency, because a civics site that quietly goes stale is worse than no site at all.
What we will not tell you
We will not claim your gift changes a life, because we cannot see who reads this or what happens next. What we can tell you is exactly what the money buys: hosting, the hours it takes to re-check every fact against the agency, and professional Spanish translation. That is the whole list.
Online giving opens shortly. If you would like to give before then, or you are asking on behalf of a foundation, write to us and a person will answer.
We Are Americans Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Donations are tax deductible to the extent the law allows.
We do not endorse candidates or parties, and we never will. Giving does not buy influence over a word of it.
