GitHub Sponsors Profile
We're a group of economists and technologists building the world's most accessible public policy analysis product--for everyone, for free. After working in tech companies and think tanks, we built the UK's first open source tax-benefit microsimulation model, and then built the open source PolicyEngine app on top of it. Now we're building PolicyEngine US, and hopefully many more countries thereafter. We especially want to have PolicyEngine US ready to evaluate proposals in the 2022 election cycle.
Your support covers our hosting and equipment costs. The founding team (Max Ghenis in the US and Nikhil Woodruff in the UK) are currently self-funding their full-time work on the product, and other US developers are also volunteering their time.
We're proud of where PolicyEngine is today (here's a two-minute demo video), but we can't wait to realize our full vision of being a unified platform for everyone in society to have a shared, evidence-based conversation around public policy.
Thanks for your help, and feel free to reach out at [email protected].
