"Supporters" is the name we give to everyone who makes a monthly donation to Index. 5, 10, 20 euros or more: it is this regularity that allows us to plan ahead and build our financial independence. In 2026, we are launching a campaign to grow this base of Supporters. If you have made a one-time donation in the past, please know we are deeply grateful — you can continue to give occasionally whenever you wish. But we encourage monthly giving because it is the form of support that best enables us to sustain our work over time.

By becoming an Index Supporter, you join a community committed to independent investigation. Specifically, you get:

• access to the Index Discord, where you can exchange directly with the team and other Supporters;
• a 20% discount on the entire Index support shop, including training courses;
• priority access to training sessions and events organized by Index;
• and our deepest gratitude — because you become one of the people who make Index's long-term work possible.

Yes! If your monthly donation to Index is active, regardless of the campaign through which you first subscribed, you are an Index Supporter and you enjoy all associated benefits: Discord access, 20% shop and training discount, priority access to events. No additional steps are required on your part. You have received or will soon receive a message detailing your benefits, along with our renewed thanks. For more information, contact us at soutiens@index.ngo.

Simply return to this page and select a monthly donation. Your regular support will complement your one-time gift — the two are not mutually exclusive. If you would rather switch to a monthly donation in place of occasional gifts, no additional steps are needed: just choose the monthly amount that suits you.

You can adjust the amount of your monthly donation or cancel it at any time through your donor dashboard on Donorbox. An access link was sent to you by email when you first donated. If you cannot find it, contact us at dons@index.ngo and we will help.

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.
