The origin
In 2020, Google.org Fellows partnered with the City of Seattle to build a better way for residents to access government programs. This led to CiviForm, an open-source tool ensuring no agency needs to rebuild this core infrastructure again.
Today, CiviForm is a government software collaboratively used by governments across the U.S. and stewarded by Exygy. The governments that use it help shape it. Every feature, fix, and release benefits everyone on the platform.

Who Owns CiviForm?
Open source, government-owned
The full CiviForm codebase is publicly available under the Apache 2.0 license. Every government that deploys CiviForm owns their instance, their infrastructure, and their data — full stop.
Stewarded by Exygy
Exygy, a certified B Corp, maintains the shared codebase, publishes releases, and supports the community of governments using the platform. Exygy also provides hands-on deployment support, managed hosting, and custom feature development.
Who's Using It?
Governments in CiviForm locations serve more than 8 million residents across the United States.

Applicants can fill out forms from the safety and privacy of their homes.
We're technologists, designers, and dreamers who believe access to government services shouldn't depend on where you live or how much time you have.
