Many consumers are unaware of the political and social causes that corporations support through their donations and lobbying efforts. This lack of transparency makes it difficult for individuals to align their spending with their values. As a result, consumers may inadvertently support companies whose actions contradict their personal beliefs regarding issues like LGBTQ+ rights, reproductive freedom, and gun safety.

Spending Spotlight is a research platform that provides consumers with data-driven insights into corporate spending. The platform aggregates and analyzes publicly available information on corporate political donations and lobbying activities, revealing which companies financially support specific causes and political candidates. This allows users to identify companies that support initiatives contrary to their values. By offering this detailed research, Spending Spotlight empowers consumers to make informed purchasing decisions and choose brands that align with their ethical beliefs, enabling them to make a difference with their dollars.
