A web application for browsing and linking IRS campaign finance data, inspired heavily by ProPublica's FEC Itemizer.
Some political committees report their contributions and expenditures to the IRS under § 527 of the U.S. tax code. The IRS publishes these disclosure forms as a bulk download. This app attempts to make sense of that bulk export, providing an interface to dissect individual filings and link to contributions and expenditures.
The archive is updated every Sunday at 1:00 AM.
This project uses the django-irs-filings app, which takes care of downloading, parsing, and loading filings. To use it in your own Django project, just run:
$ pip install django-irs-filingsAnd add irs to your list of INSTALLED_APPS.
