All donations we receive are allocated to funding our investigations, through the remuneration of our team members.

Our investigations take time. They require meticulous collaborative work involving studying court files, analyzing videos, modeling scenes in 3D, verifying scenarios, and more. Although the members of the Index team accept solidarity-based pay, we need funds to cover the cost of their investigative work. That is what your donations will be used for.

Yes, because Index is a non-profit organization. If you are taxable in France, your donation to Index is 66% tax deductible. This means that a donation of €200 will actually only cost you €68 after tax.

Your tax receipt will be sent to you automatically by email in March of the year following your donation, in time for your tax return.

Index is an independent, non-profit investigative NGO founded in France in 2020. Established as a non-profit organization under the French law of 1901, Index operates both as an investigative media outlet and as an independent expert firm accessible to all victims of institutional violence and abuse of power.

Index was created as an autonomous extension of the international research laboratory Forensic Architecture, to which it remains closely linked both through its team and its methods.

In November 2025, the Index team has seven regular members, including four employees:

• Francesco Sebregondi, Founder/Director
• Dounia Idhmida, Management Manager
• Léonie Montjarret, Communications Manager
• Nadav Joffe, Investigator & 3D Modeler
• Guillaume Seyller, Investigator & 3D Modeler
• Basile Trouillet, Investigator & Video Editor
• Filippo Ortona, Investigator & Journalist

The Index Board of Directors has five members: Yessa Belkhodja, Lucie Simon, Kaoutar Harchi, Michel Feher, and Mathieu Molard.

In order to cover our processing costs, the minimum donation amount is €5, whether it is a one-time or monthly donation. Regardless of the amount, all your donations bring us closer to our funding goal. Furthermore, we are committed to developing the largest possible support community: even a simple donation of €5 gives us the strength to continue our work.
