Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

Be an instrument to produce, promote and defend investigative journalism and the publics right to access information.

  • JOURNALISM: CPIs journalism work has been significant in the production, promotion, and defense of investigative journalism in Puerto Rico and across the Americas. Our efforts have contributed to holding those in power accountable. As a strategy to achieve our objectives, we join forces with media partners in Puerto Rico, the U.S. mainland, and with journalists in the Caribbean. In 2024 reporting continued in health, economy, education, housing, climate and environmental stories, which addressed issues impacting our communities daily lives. Our publications increased and our reach grew. Our unique website visitors grew 23% this year and newsletter subscriber grew by 14%. We retained a partnership with Telemundo/Rayos X, this allows us to participate in TV every week. We also maintained our gender issues unit as well as our public education unit, and added a permanent health reporting beat.

    Expenses $1,053,940

  • TRAINING INSTITUTE: The institute offers professional education to journalism students and professionals in investigative journalism. The institute membership for this year was 89 members. Also, we trained 20 young people from disadvantaged communities in vieques offering them media literacy and citizen journalism skills.

    Expenses $468,087

  • TRANSPARENCY AND LITIGATION: Our Transparency program advances our mission of providing access to information and transparency intended to have more knowledgeable citizens capable of holding the powerful accountable. The Transparency Program team works with the support of the Legal Clinic of the Inter-American University School of Law, including litigation when necessary. We have also hired an in house lawyer to work on research, advise and strategic litigation cases, community outreach, and offering workshops on access to information. Additionally, our team published the first searchable database of public documents regarding the Fiscal Control Board in Puerto Rico, a unique and valuanle data instrument for journalists, researchers, policymakers, academics, transparency organizations and other groups.

    Expenses $153,273

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Grants received

The 10 largest by cash amount. The API serves every itemized grant.

Other IRS files

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.

What this page reflects

The registration facts above come from the IRS Business Master File published 13 October 2026 and read 29 October 2026, for every organization at once. Returns through tax year 2024, the newest we have parsed for this organization.
