What this costs, and who pays for it.

PorchLite asks people to trust what it says about public money. It would be a poor way to earn that to be vague about its own.

Where it comes from

Nobody has contributed yet. The costs above are paid out of pocket.

PorchLite is run by Stricklin Development LLC, not a charity. Contributions are not tax-deductible, and nobody should pretend otherwise. They go to the costs on this page — hosting, the AI that drafts the summaries, and email.
