What we fund
When TAI started in 2010, there was no established transparency and accountability field. The number and capacity of organizations working on these issues has grown fast, many with support from TAI members. Today, our members support a broad range of organizations at global and local level that work at the intersection of rights and transparency, participation, and accountability to advance more just, equal, inclusive, open, and green societies.

What does TAI funding look like?
ADVOCATES partnering with communities and other stakeholders to ensure tax and budget policies realize rights and reduce inequalities
GRASSROOTS ORGANIZERS working with indigenous groups to document the plunder of their lands and assert their rights in the courts.
INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALISTS uncovering dodgy deals that favor the politically connected.
RESEARCHERS proving the value of inclusive participatory processes in shaping government policy.
TECHNOLOGISTS guiding civil society groups to use data from multiple sources to back up their policy asks.
THINK TANKS pinpointing government revenues lost due to loopholes in international tax agreements.

Pathways to change
This represents critical causal pathways common to TAI donor members’ theories of change. It is in no way a representation of pathways to change for the Transparency, Participation and Accountability field as a whole.
