Frequently Asked Questions
Are donations tax-deductible?
No. The Executive Orders Archive is an independent, developer-maintained civic technology and open-source software project. We are not a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, so contributions are not tax-deductible.
Which donation platform should I choose?
All three options go to the same project! Use Buy Me a Coffee or Ko-fi for quick one-off tips without needing an account (both support Apple Pay, Google Pay, and cards). Use GitHub Sponsors if you already have a GitHub account and want recurring open-source sponsorship badges.
Can I contribute if I cannot donate financially?
Absolutely! Non-monetary support is immensely valuable. You can star and share the repository on GitHub, report typos or transcription errors on historical orders, suggest new analytical visualizations, or cite the archive in your research.
How do I cancel or modify a recurring donation?
If you support via GitHub Sponsors, you can adjust or cancel your sponsorship anytime in your GitHub account under Settings → Billing and plans → Sponsors. For Buy Me a Coffee or Ko-fi recurring memberships, you can manage them directly inside your payment receipt email or account dashboard.
Open Source & Community Driven
The complete codebase, data harvesting scripts, and database schema are available on GitHub under the open-source license.
