Effective: 2025
Last Updated: November 2025
InvestorJustice.org is an independent, nonprofit-aligned public-interest research and education project.
This Charter establishes the governance, ethical boundaries, and transparency standards that guide all content and operational decisions.
1. Mission
InvestorJustice.org protects retirement-age and vulnerable investors by documenting financial misconduct, exposing systemic failures, and providing verified educational resources that prevent future harm.
We operate solely in the public interest and do not provide individualized legal or investment advice.
2. Independence & Conflict-Free Operation
To maintain public trust:
- We accept no compensation from financial companies, platforms, exchanges, influencers, or affiliates.
- We do not run paid promotions, sponsorships, or native ads.
- We do not sell data, access, or influence.
- Editorial decisions cannot be influenced by commercial relationships.
InvestorJustice.org exists only to serve the public interest.
3. Public-Interest Research Standards
All published material must meet the following criteria:
- Evidence must be verifiable or documented.
- Claims must be supported by source data, correspondence, filings, or public records.
- Educational content must be free from commercial bias.
- Conflicts of interest must be disclosed when relevant.
We apply a “Consumer Reports–style” integrity standard: independence first, public benefit always.
4. Anonymity & Safety
InvestorJustice may publish under pseudonym when necessary to:
- protect individuals facing retaliation risk,
- preserve safety in cross-border disputes, or
- allow contributors to expose misconduct without personal danger.
Anonymity does not reduce the standard of evidence or editorial rigor.
5. No Legal, Financial, or Investment Advice
All content is for educational and informational purposes only.
We do not provide:
- individualized guidance
- legal representation
- investment strategy
- dispute resolution services
Readers must consult licensed professionals for personal matters.
6. Data Governance
We maintain the following practices:
- No sale or sharing of user data.
- No third-party trackers for advertising.
- No targeted marketing.
- Only minimal operational analytics (if required).
Evidence submissions that contain personal information are handled under strict confidentiality rules.
7. Content Integrity Protocol
All editorial outputs follow these criteria:
- Clear sourcing
- Factual accuracy
- Transparent correction policy
- Separation between fact, analysis, and commentary
- No removal of content due to external pressure
(unless legally required and documented)
Corrections, if needed, will be timestamped and publicly noted.
8. Public Accountability Commitment
InvestorJustice.org operates as a civic transparency layer — a public utility for exposing misconduct and identifying systemic failures.
We commit to:
- highlight patterns harmful to consumers,
- publish risk factors early,
- elevate evidence that regulators have overlooked or deprioritized,
- and protect vulnerable investors through proactive transparency.
9. Collaboration Principles
We collaborate with:
- researchers
- journalists
- transparency organizations
- whistleblowers
- nonprofit partners
- civic technologists
All collaborations must serve the public interest and preserve independence.
10. Governance & Future Nonprofit Alignment
InvestorJustice.org is structured for fiscal sponsorship under a nonprofit Model A sponsor to ensure:
- fiduciary oversight
- structural governance
- tax-deductible fundraising
- compliance infrastructure
- long-term preservation of public-interest mission
Upon sponsorship, the Charter becomes part of the governing framework shared with the fiscal sponsor.
