Organizational Transparency Statement

Organizational Status

CivAlign is currently organized and operating as a California sole proprietorship. It is not currently incorporated as a nonprofit organization, corporation, LLC, or any other formal entity type beyond a sole proprietorship registered or operating under applicable California law.

CivAlign intends to pursue nonprofit organizational conversion as infrastructure development progresses and capital allows. No timeline for conversion is currently committed to publicly.

Tax Status

CivAlign does not currently hold tax-exempt status under Section 501(c)(3) or any other provision of the Internal Revenue Code.

Contributions to CivAlign are not deductible for federal income tax purposes. This applies to all contribution amounts and all contribution methods, including online payments processed through Stripe or any other payment processor.

Contributors should consult their own tax advisors regarding the treatment of any contributions in their specific tax situation.

Political Activity — What CivAlign Does Not Do

CivAlign is explicitly non-partisan. The following activities are outside the scope of CivAlign's operations and are not conducted by CivAlign:

• Endorsing or opposing any candidate for any public office
• Endorsing or opposing any political party
• Coordinating with any political campaign
• Coordinating with any party committee or party organization
• Coordinating with any political action committee (PAC or Super PAC)
• Making contributions to any candidate, party, or political committee
• Producing or distributing campaign communications
• Engaging in electioneering communications as defined by applicable federal or state law

Platform Methodology — What Outputs Represent

All analysis, alignment scores, and rankings produced by the CivAlign Platform are derived from:

• User-defined priority weight inputs provided by individual users
• Publicly available legislative and governmental records

No editorial judgment is applied by CivAlign in assigning or interpreting alignment scores. Two users with different priority configurations will receive different alignment outputs from identical underlying data. CivAlign's outputs reflect user-defined frameworks, not CivAlign editorial positions.

CivAlign does not characterize any legislative action as positive or negative in absolute terms. Interpretation of alignment scores is entirely the user's responsibility.

Data Sources

CivAlign uses publicly available governmental and legislative data sources. As the Platform develops, a detailed data source index will be made available. Current sources under development include official congressional records, Federal Election Commission public disclosures, and other published government data.

Funding Sources

CivAlign is currently funded through direct voluntary contributions from the public. Contributions support early-stage infrastructure and development costs, including tooling, hosting, data ingestion, and model refinement. No institutional investors, PACs, political organizations, or government entities fund CivAlign at this time.

Operator Information

CivAlign is operated by Kristopher Kenefsky, Founder and Project Lead, operating under the CivAlign™ name as a California sole proprietorship.
