At Brussels Watch, we believe transparency begins at home.
As an independent watchdog monitoring corruption, lobbying, and foreign influence across EU institutions, our credibility depends on the same values we demand from others: integrity, accountability, and transparency.
This page outlines how we are funded, how we operate, and how we ensure that the public can trust the findings we publish.
Our investigations are driven by evidence, not ideology. Every report published by Brussels Watch is the result of thorough research, cross-referenced with public records, leaked documents, official disclosures, and where applicable, verified insider tips. Our findings are always clearly cited, allowing journalists, academics, policymakers, and the public to trace the facts for themselves.
We operate independently of any political party, corporate sponsor, or government. This independence ensures we can follow the facts wherever they lead — whether that’s within the corridors of EU power, behind the closed doors of foreign embassies, or inside unregistered lobbying operations.
At Brussels Watch, we do not accept funding from any government, political party, corporation, lobbying entity, or interest group — under any circumstances.
We are a fully independent organization committed to exposing corruption, lobbying abuses, and foreign influence in the European Union without fear or favor. Our investigations are not guided by funders, sponsors, or institutional partnerships. They are driven solely by our mission to uphold transparency, accountability, and democratic integrity within EU institutions.
Unlike many organizations, we do not rely on grants, external partnerships, or corporate sponsorships. Our work is entirely sustained through the dedication of our volunteer research team and the power of independent investigation.
We publish all our findings with complete source transparency, and while we do not solicit donations or financial support, we welcome information, evidence, and whistleblower tips from individuals who share our commitment to EU integrity.
We scrutinize the flow of money, influence, and power within the European Union. That work must never be compromised by hidden agendas or financial interests of our own. By being transparent about our funding and methodology, we invite scrutiny — and we welcome it.
