Special Bulletin: The Donation Drive — Perfect World Project

What is the Perfect World Project?

The short version The Perfect World Project seal

It turns your town's government into something you can actually read. Every meeting, agenda, and record in one place — plus plain-language digests, searchable transcripts, and the tools to check what an official told you. Built on real scraped records, starting in Las Cruces, New Mexico, and designed so that adding the next community is configuration, not a rewrite.

The whole record, in one inbox Council and board meetings with their agenda packets, video, and searchable transcripts — hundreds of them, not a highlights reel.
Plain language Digests of what happened, so understanding a decision doesn't cost you three hours of meeting video.
Check what you were told The Polygraph checks and cites public claims; the Public Register keeps a tamper-evident receipt for every entry.
A town, not just a filing cabinet Town Square, the Post Office, the Swap Meet, rides, the Bodega — a working neighborhood layer sitting on top of the record.
And a newsroom to go with it The 5 O'Clock News broadcasts on our own transmitter, KUSSR radio, and the HoodBuster tapes.
Free, and staying that way No paywalls, no trackers, and no ads anywhere on the public record. Independent and community funded — which is exactly why this page exists.

Loading the pledge board…

Every channel here goes straight to the project. There is no processor taking a cut on our end, no membership to cancel, and no receipt that turns into a subscription.

Everybody who has chipped in is up on Sick Ass Foo's, the donor board — with a shoutout if you leave one, and as Anonymous if that is how you want it.

Where the money goes

The whole budget

DevelopmentThe immediate hole. Building and maintaining the modules — the part that is stopped right now.

The serverOne VPS hosts the whole platform: every market, every archive, the live news tower, the lot.

Domains & nameseverythingisperfect.org and the state subdomains that give each community its own front door.

Records feesAgencies charge copying and search fees on IPRA / TPIA / FOIA requests. Donations pay them so the records land in the archive, not behind a receipt.

Field hardwareRF sensors, streaming kit for the news bureau, mesh radios for the Yellow Pages.

And the surplusAnything above the operating line leaves again through Derrick's Millions — a public fund with a countdown on every dollar, paid out to neighbors who pitch an idea. Donations can't quietly pile up here.

Donations buy infrastructure, never influence. No donor and no sponsor gets a say in what gets archived, investigated, or published. The full policy — including where advertising runs and where it structurally cannot — is on the support page.

No money? Still plenty to give
