Form 990-ez, Part III, Line 28

Spendingtracker.org the coalition to reduce spending compiles and tracks every congressional budget office score to show how much spending each member of congress has voted for and on what measures. We host the results on spendingtracker.org. To produce the latter, we contracted with designers and developers to produce a standalone site to display the results in real time.

Form 990-ez, Part III, Line 29

Issue advocacy & coalition building we built relationships with key influencers in the fiscal policy community; expanded website and social media presence to increase the coalition's authority on fiscal issues; provided educational resources, unique analyses, and proposed solutions for addressing those issues to coalition followers, policymakers,like-minded organizations, and members of the general public; and published editorials, blog posts, social media updates, and other commentaries promoting sound policies for reducing federal spending and balancing the federal budget.
