The Project On Government Oversight (POGO) is an independent nonprofit that investigates and exposes corruption and other misconduct in order to achieve a more accountable federal government.
For over 25 years, POGO has advocated for an open, honest government that answers to its true boss: The American people. At a time when many government officials insist on conducting their business behind closed doors, POGO shines a light on corruption and abuses of power by working with government sources and other insiders. When government officials fail to uphold the standards of their office, the public deserves more than a band-aid solution. POGO makes systemic recommendations for restoring the government's integrity and renewing the public's confidence in its elected and appointed officials.
In order to preserve its independence, POGO does not accept any contributions from the federal government, corporations, unions, or anyone with a financial interest in the outcome of its investigations.
