The Investigative Journalism Foundation is a nonprofit newsroom focused on public interest journalism. We are a new kind of media outlet, built around databases on who donates to politicians across Canada, who lobbies them, and how the government spends your money.
Launched last year, we’re rapidly growing and proud to have been selected for Fast Forward’s 2024 Accelerator for tech non-profits. We’re also delighted to have won a Digital Publishing Award in the Data Journalism category and the Product of the Year award from LION Publishers.
As a nonprofit, nonpartisan media outlet, our primary purpose is to serve the public. We do this by publishing in-depth investigative journalism that speaks truth to power. Our databases are also used by other journalists, academics, policymakers and individuals seeking to increase transparency and strengthen Canadian democracy.
Temporary foreign workers, money laundering, avian flu among topics tackled with our reporting partners CBC News, CTV News, National Post this year
Lululemon, Poilievre’s fundraisers, treatment beds in B.C., carbon taxes and Canadian investment scams among subjects of IJF’s top investigations in 2024
