The Center for Investigative Reporting (CIR) believes that investigative journalism that moves citizens to action is an essential pillar of our democracy. Founded in 1977 as the nation's first independent investigative reporting organization, CIR remains more relevant today than ever. CIR journalists work diligently to inform the public and hold the powerful accountable by uncovering critical stories with real-world significance - such as the alarming rate of sexual abuse among female farmworkers in California or the troubling rise of white supremacy in America. A leader and innovator in a rapidly evolving media landscape, in 2015 CIR launched Reveal, the nation's first one-hour investigative reporting public radio show and podcast, which reaches an audience of millions monthly.
The Hellman Foundation values The Center for Investigative Reporting's commitment to serving the public and strengthening our democracy by informing and engaging citizens in the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond.
