Funding Transparency
Where Power Lens's money comes from and how it is spent.
A watchdog should be watched too. This page shows who funds Power Lens and how the money is used, so that readers can judge for themselves whether our work is independent.
What we publish
- our sources of funding
- our donors, where the law and safety allow us to name them
- grants and institutional partners
- how our money is spent, by category
- our annual financial reports
- our conflict of interest and donor policies
Sources of funding

We publish the names of individual donors who give more than [TO ADD: threshold] in a year, unless naming them would put them at risk or the law prevents it. Where we do not name a donor, we still say how many there are and what share of our funding they provide.
