IRE favicon

Shine a light. Fund the fight.

IRE works constantly to provide training in the latest data analysis and investigative reporting and editing techniques and to foster a safe, inclusive forum where journalists throughout the world can help each other share ideas, tips and sources.

It takes volunteers and money to make it all work. Our annual end-of-the-year campaign is one of the ways you can help raise those necessary funds — every dollar helps. 

This year, our focus is on press freedom, which is under increasing attack. Help us continue to shine the light in those dark corners where power wants to keep things hidden from public view. Fund the fight!
