Build Your Own Platform
Data-driven ratings tailored to your organization — from research to code to launch.
How it Works
The Institute for Legislative Analysis houses the most expansive datasets on the U.S. Congress and state legislatures and builds fully customized platforms.
The Impact
Our researchers uncover the “hidden votes” — amendments and procedural motions — bringing new transparency to Congress and the state legislatures. Your custom platform will allow you to:
- #1 Hold Lawmakers Accountable to your state or local party platform or organization’s mission.
- #2 Issue Key Vote Alerts to pressure lawmakers to vote in line with your priorities.
- #3 Make Candidate Endorsements utilizing objective statistical data.
- #4 Grow Membership and Fundraising through a product generating press and social media attention.
The Costs
Previously, an organization would be forced to spend over $100,000 (and in many cases multiple times that amount) to hire a team of policy experts to analyze the legislative sessions of both Congress and the state legislature, pull the relevant bills and votes, extract all the lawmaker voting data, and build a fully customized website containing profiles on every federal and state-level lawmaker of a state.
The ILA now provides conservative and liberty-minded organizations with their own fully custom platforms for a fraction of the amount it would otherwise cost. The ILA team can provide a specific quote as the actual cost vary widely but generally range between $8,000 and $30,000.
The ILA is a 501c3 tax-deductible non-profit, with donors typically pooling resources to sponsor a build out of these educational systems. Additionally, the ILA provides significant discounts for multi-platform packages (e.g., multiple state or local chapters of an organization).
