Information accessible to everyone

Reliable information is one of the cornerstones of a well-functioning democratic society. Adessium invests in independent investigative journalism and press freedom. We also support initiatives that make the internet safer and fairer, so that high-quality information isn’t just produced but also actually reaches the general public. By doing this, we further the public debate and promote an open, informed society.

Organizations that we support

Civitates – The European Democracy Fund

Civitates supports organizations that are working to address growing political polarization in Europe, the shrinking space for civil society, the decline of independent media, and the rise of online disinformation.
Bits of Freedom

Bits of Freedom works toward an open and just information society. They do this through advocacy, campaigns, and legal action, both in the Netherlands and in Brussels.
Open Markets Institute

By combining policy, legal, and market structure expertise with strong communications and outreach, Open Markets works to hold today’s monopolies accountable for abuses of power. It also aims to rebuild an economic system where progress is easier to achieve because power is more widely and equitably distributed.
Investico

Investico strengthens the democratic rule of law by feeding the public debate. Not with inflated scandals, but through news and investigative stories that clarify how decisions are made, where implementation may go awry, and how oversight functions in social issues that are important for the Netherlands.
