Public beta. Not yet independently reviewed. ProjectWhitehall republishes public records from official sources. It is not an investigation, a legal finding or advice. Registers can be late, incomplete or wrong, and a link between records does not show wrongdoing. Absence of a record does not mean absence of activity. Always check the original source, which we link on every entry. We have already made mistakes and list them all in the corrections log.

Rows in the CSV against the total the site itself reports. From docs/COVERAGE.md, generated 11 Oct 2026. Reconciled means the rows we hold equal the total the publisher reports, checked on retrieval. It does not mean the publisher's data is right. Raw data held in all: 20,715 objects, 4.1 GB.

How to read a stamp

EC DONATIONS / RETRIEVED 11 OCT 2026 / OFFICIAL IDWhere it came from, when we retrieved it, and how it was matched. Official ID means an official identifier agreed, such as a company number. Probable means we matched on a name, and it is not shown as fact.
NOT PUBLISHEDThe publisher did not say. We show the gap instead of guessing.
