How the Center for Public Integrity is Funded

 

Award-winning investigative journalism is priceless — but it is not free. The Center for Public Integrity is supported through foundations and individuals like you. The Center for Public Integrity does not accept contributions from labor unions, governments or anonymous donors. For more information about supporting the Center for Public Integrity, please contact Chief Development Officer Armando Zumaya at 202-481-1230. 

The Center for Public Integrity maintains a strict firewall between funding and our editorial content. We take funding to support our editorial priorities, such as the environment, money and politics or international reporting, but funders must understand that they never determine the Center for Public Integrity’s editorial direction. Our funders support us because our investigations are non-partisan, fair, have impact and raise the level of debate on complex issues of critical, global importance.
