Funding & Financial Transparency

Wild Narrative Project is a nonprofit newsroom supported by individual donors, philanthropic organizations, and journalism funders. We believe readers should know who helps fund our work — and that financial support should never determine what we investigate, whom we interview, or what we publish.

Major Supporters

Wild Narrative Project publicly discloses donors and funders whose support totals $5,000 or more in a fiscal year.

Editorial Independence

Financial support does not give donors or funders influence over Wild Narrative Project’s story selection, reporting, sources, editorial decisions, or conclusions.

Our standards governing editorial independence, donor transparency, conflicts of interest, corrections, and reporting practices are detailed in our Ethics & Editorial Policies.
