Grants and partnerships

Good investigations need more than courage. Octore supplies the funding and the operational security that frontline investigators require to withstand pressure.

What support can look like

Octore provides dedicated project grants and rapid emergency assistance. We may also fund broader organisational development where a partner needs capacity to keep working.

Support often includes access to protective legal review and specialist security infrastructure. The structure of each grant reflects the partner's mandate and the exact conditions in which they operate.

How decisions are made

Octore assesses work on its public benefit, credibility, delivery capacity and independence. Security needs are considered from the outset.

Partnerships typically originate through internal scoping or introductions from verified professional networks. Unsolicited applications may be considered when they closely match current priorities.

Funding priorities

Reporting and research

Octore supports investigative journalism designed to withstand severe legal scrutiny. We fund financial research that exposes hidden ownership and maps the cross-border structures protecting it.

Transparency and education

Funding can support asset tracing and ownership transparency. Octore also considers educational work that gives professional audiences practical, evidence-based material.

Protection of the work

Evidence must be handled safely if it is to remain useful. Octore supports secure preservation and may fund legal or digital security assistance where people face real risk.

Working with Octore

Every grant requires a written agreement detailing the exact scope of work and the necessary confidentiality protocols.

Octore maintains strict privacy around partnerships if disclosure threatens frontline staff or exposes active research. Prospective partners who require immediate discretion can establish a secure channel with our team prior to sharing any sensitive information.
