Quality investigative reporting that strengthens democracy and communities requires significant time and resources. As an editorially independent nonprofit newsroom, IRW is committed to filling that void with rigorously reported stories that would otherwise go untold. 

Our ambitious work, and ability to train the next generation of journalists, is powered by donations. Your support enables us to uncover visa backlogs at the State Department; DC police out-earning the mayor through overtime; workers losing the right to breaks in heat waves; and dozens of other stories in partnership with professional newsrooms, large and small, each year.

You can contribute through the “donate” button above or you can make a tax-deductible gift by sending a check to:
