Our purpose is to reward whistleblowers who have already exposed wrongdoings to advance social, economic, and environmental justice. We want to reward persons who by their actions hold institutions and leaders accountable.

If we are contacted by persons who have knowledge of wrongdoing in their workplace and are considering sharing their knowledge with lawmakers, regulators, watchdog organizations, attorneys, or the media we will urge them to contact whistleblower organizations.
