Whistleblowing

We provide anonymous sources a secure way to come forward with sensitive and confidential documents.

Investigative Reporting

Whether supported by our sources’ documents or not, we investigate and report on problems of corruption and abuse within religious institutions.

When deciding what documents to release and stories to pursue, we heavily consider the following three guiding principles:

Finances

Religious institutions should be held to the same societal and legal standards as other nonprofits concerning the transparency of their finances.

Policies

Policies and procedures of any religious institution that directly affect its membership should be well-known and publicized.

Abuse

Statistics on all claims of abuse, percentage of claims involving law enforcement, and associated settlements should be regularly published.
