THE VAULT INVESTIGATES
The Vault Investigates** is an independent investigative journalism and public-records project documenting how poverty is monetized through institutions, NGOs, politics, and media systems in the United States, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines.
We follow money.
We verify documents.
We publish sources.
This archive exists to preserve court filings, audits, records, reports, and original research in one public place — free from institutional sponsorship and political capture.
WHAT WE DO
- Investigative reporting using primary documents
- Long-form analysis and evidence preservation
- Whistleblower intake and verification
- Cross-border financial and NGO research
- Source archiving and timeline building
WHAT WE ARE NOT
How this work is funded
The Vault Investigates is built and maintained by a disabled U.S. veteran living on Social Security. There are no institutional sponsors, ad networks, or political funders behind this project — just reader support and what’s left of one monthly check. Paid subscriptions and donations go directly to investigation time, records fees, and the tools needed to keep this archive online for readers in the United States, Puerto Rico, the Philippines, and other working‑class communities.
- Not a political party
- Not an advocacy NGO
- Not funded by institutions
- Not a government project
