The '''Center for Public Integrity''' ('''CPI''') was an American [[nonprofit]] [[investigative journalism]] organization. CPI's stated mission was "to counter the corrosive effects of inequality by holding powerful interests accountable and equipping the public with knowledge to drive change."<ref>{{cite web |title=About Us |url=https://publicintegrity.org/about/ |website=Center for Public Integrity |access-date=25 March 2025}}</ref> It won the 2014 [[Pulitzer Prize for Investigative Reporting]], and in 2023, the [[Edward R.

Mass layoffs in 2024 saw almost the entirety of CPI's workforce dismissed. In March 2025, CPI announced that it officially ceased operations and was seeking to turn its archives over to the [[Project on Government Oversight]].
