Non-profit organization management · 1,001 to 5,000 employees

Open the Books is a project of American Transparency, a 501(c)(3) dedicated to educating the public on waste, fraud and abuse and fighting for real-time spending transparency. We believe transparency building block of representative government that makes all our other freedoms possible. We operate the largest private database of public spending in history: 10 billion points of data that includes all federal salaries, line-by-line federal spending, all 50 state “checkbooks,” millions of state-level salaries and pension funds, and spending across more than 17,000 municipalities. We won’t stop until we’ve captured every dime and put it online, in a close to real-time as possible. The database is open to journalists, researchers, activists, public officials – and most importantly – every American taxpayer.
