What we will and won't accept.

We accept

Grants from public, philanthropic and multilateral funders

Bilateral donors, multilateral agencies, philanthropic foundations and registered Pakistani trusts — provided the grant terms are compatible with our editorial independence policy.

We accept

Commissioned research fees

From institutional partners, under the same publication terms as our self-initiated research.

We do not accept

Funding that compromises independence

No anonymous funding. No funding contingent on findings. No funding from political parties, intelligence agencies, or organisations under sanctions. No funding that requires suppression of results.
