Financial Transparency:

 

The Recorder is committed to transparency in every aspect of funding our organization.

 

Accepting financial support does not mean we endorse donors or their products, services or opinions.

 

We accept gifts, grants and sponsorships from individuals, organizations and foundations to help with our general operations, coverage of specific topics and special projects. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that operates as a public trust, we do not pay certain taxes. We may receive funds from standard government programs offered to nonprofits or similar businesses.

 

Our news judgments are made independently – not based on or influenced by donors or any revenue source. We do not give supporters the rights to assign, review or edit content.

 

As a member of the Institute for Nonprofit News ("INN"), The Recorder is committed to financial transparency by publicly disclosing donors contributing $5,000 or more annually.  This allows the community to know who is  providing significant levels of funding to The Recorder.  

​

INN members do not rely on a significant percentage of total anonymous donations or “dark money” to fund their journalism.

Donors who have contributed $5,000 or more in 2024:
