Financials

Global Ground annually shares information on major donors and the expenses per investigation.

Donors

We are grateful to the following organisations for providing funding or in-kind support:

Editorial decisions are never impacted by who our donors are. Read how we maintain editorial independence in the funding policy.

The Cost of Journalism

Journalism is not free, but what does it cost exactly? Next to our trainings, we also receive donations and grants, so we feel it’s only fair to be transparent about the cost of our investigations.

MYANMAR'S LAND GAME

For this story we went to the northern hills of Myanmar. In total we spent € 3279,31 (US$ 3,713.16).

CHINA'S IMPERATIVE ORGANICS

Pesticide deaths and food scarcity make organic food production a global issue. We looked at how the largest country on earth handles their troubled food past for € 2151,20 (US$ 2,440.45).

FIGHTING AN OBEDIENT DEMOCRACY

What happens when a military junta wants to stay in power in the first elections after a coup? We investigated the 2019 elections in Thailand spending € 2677,36 (US$ 3,032.95).

DISINFORMATION SOUTH KOREA

Minorities face discrimination through fake news stories in South Korea. We looked at the YouTube channels making money by spreading disinformation and spent € 4887,03 (US$ 5,569.06).

Donations

Last but not least, we want to thank you; our readers. Many of you have supported us by sending thank you emails and sharing experiences or information.

One other way you could support us is by donating. Last year, we decided to refrain from advertisement on the website, so we need your contribution to continue covering underreported stories.
