A ledger is only as good as the people watching
CivicStake is free to read, free to export, and open to anyone who wants to add to it. Four ways to help keep ownership of essential services visible.
Submit a deal you know about
Seen a hospital, nursing home, or school change hands? Add it. You'll need a free account, and every submission is reviewed by a person before it's published — so a name and a source link are enough to start.
Create a free accountExplore & share the data
Search the interactive map, filter the full list by sector or country, and export any view as CSV or JSON to use in your own reporting, research, or organizing.

Every deal links back to its primary source. Follow it. The more people who read the public record directly, the harder it is for consequential ownership changes to pass unnoticed.
Search SEC EDGAR(opens in a new tab)Spread the word
Share a deal, a firm page, or the map with a journalist, a policymaker, or a neighbor. Visibility is the whole mechanism — this only works if people look.
Understand the whyFound something wrong? Tell us.
Corrections are part of how this stays trustworthy. If a deal is mislabeled, a firm is misattributed, or a source has moved, let us know and we'll fix the record. Getting it right matters more than getting it fast.
