Recoding America

Non-profit modernizing government operating model

Overview

Recoding America is a nonprofit focused on modernizing the U.S. government’s operating model to improve digital-era public services. It acts as a cross-ideological field catalyst, building coalitions and infrastructure to support reforms at federal and state levels through two sister entities: a 501(c)(3) for education and program work, and a 501(c)(4) for lobbying via Recoding America Action. Rather than chasing a single policy area, it emphasizes four foundational competencies of a modern government operating model and helps policymakers, agency leaders, technologists, and philanthropies collaborate on policy implementation. Its six-year plan aims to raise state and federal capacity so government can reliably deliver better outcomes.

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • Recoding America Fund said in March 2026 it had just under $40 million.
  • StateScoop reported April 2026 partnerships with Center for Civic Futures on $10 million grants.
  • Recoding America’s July 2026 news highlights North Carolina hiring reform and New York AI modernization.

What critics are saying

  • Raising the remaining $80 million exposes the fund to donor fatigue before 2032.
  • State legislatures and agencies can ignore cross-ideological reform, trapping pilots in permanent pilot purgatory.
  • If fundraising stalls, Recoding America Action loses reach and the coalition dissolves.

What makes Recoding America unique

  • Pahlka’s Code for America and US Digital Service pedigree gives unmatched government-reform credibility.
  • Recoding America pairs a 501(c)(3) with Recoding America Action for lobbying and education.
  • Its six-year, through-2032 sprint targets operating-model changes, not single-policy fixes.
