With staff across six continents and hubs in Amsterdam, Washington, D.C., and Sarajevo, OCCRP is one of the largest investigative journalism organizations in the world. We are a mission-driven nonprofit newsroom that partners with other media outlets to publish stories that spur action. OCCRP is also a media development platform that advances investigative reporting worldwide.
Independent media around the globe face a variety of threats ranging from intimidation, imprisonment, and physical violence to legal threats in the form of frivolous lawsuits. They operate in extremely challenging environments, facing off against governments and criminal networks that routinely threaten to shut down critical voices.
OCCRP serves as a lifeline for some of the last remaining independent media in the countries it covers. We support 65+ media member centers around the world, enabling them to undertake impactful, collaborative reporting – and to meet the range of challenges they face in doing this work, including reporting in exile.
The generous funding from the Golden Globe Foundation supports the tools and services OCCRP provides to member centers, including editorial coordination and training, digital and physical security support, access to data and research, pro-bono legal assistance, and partnerships across the global network.
