## What is Goods Unite Us?

Americans inadvertently donate 3X more to politicians and PACs through their purchases than they donate on purpose. Let's change that! 

Goods Unite Us is a women-led, Madison-Wisconsin based company with a well-established track-record of providing accurate data. 

Find out the political donations of thousands of brands! Search a company and we’ll tell you what we know about the political contributions made by the organization and its executives. Search a politician and see the companies that fund them.  

Our app exists to bring accountability and transparency to the political process. According to Congress and the Supreme Court, corporations are people and their money is speech. We want you to hear what corporations are saying. 

Simply put, when enough people factor political contributions into their purchase decisions, companies will change who and what they finance politically. We see this as the most powerful way to give you a voice in politics. After all, before the money is theirs to speak with, it’s yours.

### 1/5 — Bummer

*2026-07-31, version 3.3.4*

It’s a good idea and well organized but clearly it’s extreme left wing biased so unfortunately it can’t really be trusted. Bummer.

### 1/5 — Democrat Bias

*2026-07-30, version 3.3.4*

Very much has a democrat bias. Love it shows what’s going to what but it just shows everything supported for Trump in a list but nothing for what was supported for other democrats.

### 3/5 — Doesn’t account for people who live in food deserts or gas deserts, or buy local and used

*2026-07-08, version 3.3.2*

While taking the test for services it gives a very limited option for most categories which doesn’t allow for people to state thrifting, used cars, or even lack of options in their area. With this in mind it tells you which political party you are financially supporting without considering that there are no other options and this makes it difficult to actually assess your financial contributions to policy since many of the options are big business box chains and not local agencies. I get they can add all businesses but by assessing on what is available in your options you are discounting what people donation their local communities. When your option is other it  doesn’t see that as an independent instead it doesn’t count it and rates you based on the options that are the only ones listed that care available. For instance car makes without consideration of them being used or classic, grocers without the option for the local co-op, and so on. This makes people feel less heard and understood.

### 2/5 — Used to be good, now bloated

*2026-06-22, version 3.3.0*

This used to be great, and simple. Now a slow and bloated mess. Routinely shows new notifications with nothing new in the app.

### 1/5 — Took my money, never researched companies or replied. Felt scammed.

*2026-06-21, version 3.3.0*

As stated. I reached out several times and was thoroughly ignored about my $39 order to expedite research on two companies. Had hopes it was a miscommunicstiom, seems they just took the money and ran. Unfortunate.

### 2/5 — Confused!

*2026-06-15, version 3.2.1*

Where I once found this app quite useful, since the last update, I find that I can no longer reliably find what I am looking for. For example, I did a search for a sitting congressperson and got nothing - and the name *was* spelled correctly. 🤨

### 3/5 — The free app has been ruined by ads

*2026-05-26, version 3.2.1*

The app provides tons of valuable information.   I opened it today for the first time in a long time, and it was lousy with ads.   I accidentally opened 2 ads, while trying NOT to click on them. 
.
I haven’t tried the premium version.

### 2/5 — Creating an Account

*2026-05-12, version 3.2.1*

I like the app, it does help you see where you’re putting your money towards. I’m just having a hard time creating an account. I don’t get the email to verify my email address. No matter how many times I try. I also tried inputting a different email address, but it tells me to verify the first one before trying to change it. Very frustrating.

### 5/5 — Quick check for political affiliations

*2026-05-04, version 3.2.1*

A great way to do a quick check when making decisions for shopping for those who would like to influence corporations on the retail level. I really enjoy the little game that helps me  to learn companies' choices for political donations. Helps me to make choices that ultimately will play a part in the presently unrealized power of citizens to influence the direction of corporations.

### 5/5 — Incredible Source

*2026-05-01, version 3.2.1*

Goods Unite Us is a such a well developed app, this small team has provided, and continues to add a plethora of organizations to their app FOR FREE. They’re very transparent with sourcing as well. Thank you to the team and everyone needs this app. I am a a better shopper with it, I not only shop consciously, but also, support the causes that I feel are important. If you can’t find the org. you’re looking for, the option to add it is provided but because they get so many requests it isn’t ensured. That is where a small fee comes in, to ensure your requested org. is prioritized/added you have the option to pay, currently it costs $24.99 each. I haven’t needed it yet, but if I do I will utilize it definitely worth it to show some support!
