Mission | Public Accountability Initiative

The Public Accountability Initiative (PAI), a 501(c)3 nonprofit, is a nonpartisan research and educational organization focused on corporate and government accountability. Our mission is to facilitate and produce investigative research that supports strategic community action and empowers citizens to hold their leaders accountable.

PAI was formed in early 2008 by a group of academics, public interest lawyers, researchers, and web developers affiliated with leading universities and major social change organizations. In previous years, members of PAI's staff and board have collaborated on high-profile campaigns and generated original accountability research that has appeared on the front pages of the Wall Street Journal, the Boston Globe, and other major media outlets.
