Support the Mission
Fund the work that isn't getting paid for.
Paid services keep the lights on. Donations fund the mission — the investigations, the pro bono case reviews, the corruption stories nobody else will touch. If you believe in it, give what you're led to give. No one is forced. Everyone is invited.
Give What You Are Led to Give
Donations fuel the mission and keep the lights on. They do not buy priority attention on your personal matter. If you need me focused on your specific case, the paid path is the way. If you believe in the work, give what feels right.
Secure payment via Stripe. You will receive a receipt by email.
Where the money actually goes
Fuel for investigations
Gas, mileage, records fees, filing fees, tools, storage for evidence, and the boring operational stuff that keeps the work moving.
Pro bono case review fund
People who can't pay get their case reviewed anyway, funded by this line. Donors are the reason we can say yes.
The Legal Spotlight
Writing, research, publishing. Corruption and rights-violation stories that don't get a traditional newsroom budget.
AI and tooling
Instant-delivery tools, document analyzers, and the back-end that turns messy information into usable structure — for you and for clients.
Straight talk
Donations do not buy priority attention on your personal case. That's important. If you need Ryan focused on your specific matter, the paid services path is how you get the priority queue. Donations fund the mission; paid work funds the operator.
Receipts are emailed automatically. Real Ryan Nichols LLC is a for-profit LLC, not a 501(c)(3), so gifts are not tax-deductible. If you want deductibility, give to a cause we recommend instead — we'll tell you where.
