FOIA News: Reporters Committee Sunsets iFOIA Platform

FOIA News (2015-2023)Kevin SchmidtComment

We’re sunsetting iFOIA. Here’s what you need to know.

Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press, Apr. 5, 2023
The Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press created iFOIA in 2013 to provide people a simpler way to create, file, and manage FOIA requests. We’re proud to share that since its creation, thousands of users have filed more than 11,000 public record requests and exchanged tens of thousands of communications with government agencies through iFOIA.

We’re not software developers or engineers — we’re attorneys, and the need for legal services is only growing.
For that reason, the Reporters Committee is sunsetting iFOIA as of August 2023. No new requests can be submitted as of April 30, 2023.

We will send you a monthly reminder about the retirement, through July, and iFOIA will be retired in August. If you have any questions about this process, please email ifoia@rcfp.org.
