Where things stand
We are not accepting money yet. There is no donate button, and no one should send money in Policy Nepal’s name. When a lawful way to give is in place, this page will say so and explain exactly how it works.
What support would pay for
- Research and editing: reading laws, budgets and audit reports, and checking every figure against its source.
- Nepali-language review, so everything reads naturally in both languages.
- Keeping data current: the weekly and monthly refreshes of budget, debt, trade and parliamentary records.
- Learning tools for citizens, MPs and their staff, offered free to everyone.
- Hosting, security and accessibility, so the site stays fast, safe and usable on any phone.
Funding independence (draft policy)
This is a draft. It will apply from the day we first accept money, and any change to it will be published with its date.
- No funder can review, approve, change, delay or remove anything we publish, or decide what we research.
- Every party, office-holder and institution is covered by the same standards, whoever funds us.
- We will not take money for party or campaign purposes, and support never buys a position, endorsement, ranking or placement on this site.
- If a funder has an interest in a topic we cover, we will say so on that page.
- We will publish who funds us and roughly how much, once a year.
Recognising supporters
We will name a supporter only with their written consent, and remove the name on request. We will never publish a supporter’s political views or use their details for anything else. There are no supporters listed yet, because we have not yet accepted support.
Ways to help now that cost nothing
- Share a page with someone who would find it useful.
- Read the sources behind a figure and tell us when a correction route opens if something is wrong.
- If you are an expert, read how expert contributions will work on Our approach.
