Dear Reader,

Our investigative data platform, OCCRP Aleph, has grown into one of the largest in the world. 

Aleph currently hosts 125 terabytes of data — which includes government records — that journalists use to expose corruption in their home countries. 

Our goal is to expand Aleph. As states restrict Freedom of Information (FOI) laws and access to corporate records, we need to give journalists a place to turn.

But identifying, verifying, uploading, and safely storing several terabytes of data is costly. That’s why we need your help.

This fall, we’re asking our readers to make a donation to our one-of-a-kind network. With your support, we can connect more journalists with more records — that means more investigations into high-level corruption.

Donations also grant access to our newsrooms, including webinars with OCCRP journalists about their reporting. If you would like to support our work through your donor advised fund or workplace giving program, our EIN is 26-0898750. For checks, wire transfers, and other charitable giving vehicles, please contact Michael Meltzer at [email protected].

Thank you,
— The OCCRP Team
