The perks of being a Partner Investigating Crime | Yearly Donations
Exclusive events
Events can be held in English or Spanish. Please refer to the event page for more information, including access details and available languages. Simultaneous translation is not available at this time.
In order to encourage the free and open exchange of information, our exclusive events are held under the Chatham House Rule. As a Partner Investigating Crime, you will be able to use the information received during the meeting; however, in order to preserve the confidentiality of the space, it is not allowed to reveal the identity or affiliation of any participant.
The events are not recorded to protect the confidentiality and sensitivity of the space. If, due to time zone differences, you have difficulties participating, we will be attentive to finding options that allow you to access the most relevant content.
The schedule of events is organized according to the calendar year, and you will have access for as long as your subscription (annual donation) is active.
As part of your annual donation of more than US$500, you will receive an invitation to a private meeting with our directors and/or experts.
The purpose of this meeting is to provide a private space to address topics that are of interest to you. We will answer questions that you send previously through a form.
The scheduling of the meeting will be defined based on your availability and that of our directors and/or experts, considering the topics of interest that participants wish to address and deepen. This space is conducted virtually through Zoom, and will be developed under the Chatham House Rule, in order to ensure an open and confidential dialogue.
These meetings can be scheduled at any time during the year that your subscription is active.
Gold Corporate Access
Gold Corporate is the ideal subscription package for institutions, NGOs, media outlets, or academic groups. With this scheme, up to four members of your team will have access to all the above benefits.
- 4 people from your organization or group have access to what is included in the “Donor” list.
- 4 people from your organization or group will be able to participate in private sessions with InSight Crime directors and/or experts.
This subscription costs US$800 per year.
To obtain access for your team, we will send you a form that you will need to complete with the list of accounts in your organization that will have access to events and meetings. In case you need any modification on the list of authorized persons of your organization, you can notify us and communicate it through the e-mails donations@insightcrime.org and info@insightcrime.org
A Message From the Directors
For 15 years, InSight Crime has been investigating organized crime in Latin America and the Caribbean. Now, you can be part of our effort to unmask and understand organized crime in the Americas. Become a recurrent donor, support our mission and gain exclusive access to events, discussions, and bonus content.
We have created the most complete database on organized crime in the Americas. Help us make it even better.
When you give money to InSight Crime, you are helping us tell these human stories. Corruption and organized crime are, in part, about data. They are about numbers as well. And we will always give you that nerdy edge. But we will never forget that corruption and organized crime are mostly about the human beings who are living these problems day-to-day.
