Dear Friend,

This year marked an important new chapter for The Sentry. Under Justyna Gudzowska’s leadership as Executive Director, we have positioned the organization to stay ahead of a rapidly evolving global landscape—deepening our investigations, strengthening partnerships, and driving meaningful accountability worldwide.

I am proud to share our 2025 Impact Report, highlighting the powerful results that your support has helped make possible. This year, The Sentry:

• Exposed the United Arab Emirates’ role in fueling the war in Sudan
• Shined a spotlight on the Wagner Group’s failures in Mali
• Called out ‘sportswashing’ by corrupt regimes
• Uncovered the scale of fuel smuggling in Libya and revealed the direct involvement of the country’s leaders
• Pursued the enablers of Azerbaijan’s kleptocracy
• Expanded our focus on natural resource exploitation and environmental crime

This work exposes the complex financial systems that drive violence, repression, and environmental devastation—and none of it would be possible without supporters like you.

And right now, you can help power even more impact.

Through midnight on New Year’s Eve, a generous group of donors is matching every contribution dollar for dollar. Your support will go twice as far—fueling new investigations, strengthening cross-border partnerships, and scaling our efforts to hold corrupt networks accountable in 2026.

Thank you for standing with The Sentry and for your commitment to creating a more just and transparent world.

Season’s Greetings,

Bonnie Abaunza
Board Chair
