Overview
Mission
See Gov's purpose is to increase thoughtful and consistent participation in democracy, starting with local government. We do this by making it easy and interesting for residents to understand their local governments through video highlights of local government meetings created with the assistance of AI. This material educates viewers about local issues, the positions of officials and other participants, and government performance, while also showing public participation to encourage further engagement. The organization creates and provides a platform used by journalists and civic creators to produce and distribute these video highlights.
What it reported doing in 2025
In 2025, See Gov significantly expanded its platform's reach to process local government meeting recordings and generate accessible video highlight reels and summaries. Moving beyond our initial pilot communities, the organization scaled its operations to monitor over 100 local governments across approximately 15 states, producing over 180 highlight reels and a similar number of vertical short videos featuring unaltered local government meeting video. Through our technology and the efforts of our team, See Gov provided vital civic engagement resources to support journalists, creators, and more than 30 news organizations. Distributed across partner news sites and social media platforms, these resources generated tens of thousands of views, successfully advancing our core mission of increasing resident understanding and engagement with their local governments on a national scale.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
