Dear Reader, 

As the OCCRP network expands, we aren’t just hiring more reporters, but also researchers. 

OCCRP has one of the largest open source research departments in the investigative journalism sector. It’s called OCCRP ID, a team that has played a key role in some of our most impactful investigative projects, like Russian Asset Tracker.

Whether it’s finding an oligarch’s private jet, the shipping manifests of a cartel-linked vessel, or the luxury purchases of an authoritarian’s nephew — our team knows where to look. 

With your help, we can grow OCCRP ID’s global reach even further. Let’s make sure every investigative reporting outlet has the research support they need. 

Help us investigate what others can’t.

"Open Source Intelligence'' (OSINT) is a critical need for any journalist. In fact, several members of the ID team have used the OSINT skills they learned on the ID team to lead investigations themselves.

OCCRP’s Head of Research Karina Shedrofsky explains how OCCRP ID uncovers hidden assets and money trails in this video. 

By making a donation, you’ll directly help us train journalists around the world in reporting techniques needed in today’s newsrooms.

Once you make a contribution, you will also gain access to OCCRP Discussions. Our next webinar will be with our co-founders on Thursday December 7, who will share new trends they've noticed in organized crime and corruption. 

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].

Sincerely,
The OCCRP Team
