About GAP

The Government Accountability Project’s mission is to protect the public interest by promoting government and corporate accountability through advancing occupational free speech and ethical conduct, defending whistleblowers, and empowering citizen activists. Founded in 1977, GAP is a non-profit, public interest organization that receives funding from foundations, individuals, and legal fees.

GAP is the nation’s leading whistleblower organization. GAP promotes accountability by advocating occupational free speech, litigating whistleblower cases, publicizing whistleblower concerns, and developing policy and legal reforms of whistleblower laws.
 
GAP’s major program initiatives focus on both government and corporate accountability related to nuclear oversight, food and drug safety, worker health and safety, international reform and national security. We develop whistleblower laws and policy reform domestically and internationally. GAP also conducts an accredited legal clinic for law students, and offers an internship program that for undergraduates and law students year-round. GAP’s national office has been located in Washington, D.C. since the institution's inception. We opened a Seattle office in 1992, subesquently the office broke off as an independent organization earlier this year, and GAP will continue to operate its national Nuclear Oversight Program out of its Washington, D.C. office .
 
GAP is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization with an operating budget of slightly over $2 million. Gifts to GAP are tax-deductible. The majority of our funds come from grantmaking foundations such as the Ford Foundation, the CS Fund and the Rockefeller Family Fund and from as many as 8,000 generous individuals. The rest of GAP’s budget comes from legal fees, settlement awards, and services provided. We are grateful for this widespread recognition of the critical importance of our work.
