Localpartnerships first — knowledge built where it is used

Founded in 2017 to meet the needs of the education-disadvantaged, we have worked in many countries across Africa, Asia and Latin America, as well as in the United States. Working in concert with public, private and non-governmental organizations, we promote partnerships between local organizations and support effective local management.

How do we do it?

We are leaders in building the knowledge, skills and resources of local groups — so they can accomplish their missions effectively.

On this site, that mission takes a particular shape: keeping the public ledger open. Start with the primer on earmarks, browse the case files, or study the watchlist of questionable programs — and if you spot something we should see, tell us.
