At Global Voices, our work is driven by our community, in service to our readers. Our contributors and editorial team decide what stories we tell and how we tell them.
We evaluate all funding sources based on the impact they have on our mission, values, and work. We accept funding that will not interfere with our goals, hurt our reputation, or threaten the security of contributors.
For more information please read our full policy: Global Voices Fundraising Ethics.
