Our organisation

Our vision is of a world in which government, politics, business, civil society and the daily lives of people are free of corruption. In order to get there, our mission is to stop corruption and promote transparency, accountability and integrity at all levels and across all sectors of society.

Through national chapters in more than 100 countries and an international secretariat in Berlin, we are leading global action against corruption.

Secure and diverse funding enables Transparency International to undertake its vital work, maintain its independence and reputation, and operate effectively.

Transparency International receives funding from a range of donors, including government agencies, multilateral institutions, foundations, the private sector and individuals. Funding may be unrestricted or tied to specific projects or programmes.

It is our policy to accept funding – whether monetary or in kind – from any donor, provided that does not impair our independence to pursue our mission or endanger our integrity and reputation.
