Following my urgent message of 23 June, many of you have requested an update on Open Briefing’s funding situation.

I am delighted to let you know that we have now raised £13,070 towards our fundraising target of £14,000! 

This is thanks to grants from the Marmot Charitable Trust, the Oak Foundation, the Philamonic Trust, the Remote Control project and the Polden-Puckham Charitable Foundation, together with generous donations from many of our subscribers and website visitors. Many thanks indeed to all those who have made a donation. It has been truly heartwarming to learn just how valued Open Briefing is.

But we now have just 19 days to raise the remaining £930 and secure Open Briefing’s future. So I am reaching out to you to ask for a small donation to help us continue our vital work to promote alternatives to armed conflict and protect human rights. Many of our subscribers have chosen to show their support with a £10 donation, some have been able to make a £100 donation, but whatever you are able to give will be put to good use.

We are a unique international collaboration of intelligence, military, law enforcement and government professionals striving to make a difference. We are your intelligence agency. But we need your help.

If you haven’t done so already, please consider making a one-off or regular donation. And, once again, many thanks to those of you who already have supported us!

Kind regards,

Chris Abbott
Founder & Executive Director
