True North Research is a nonprofit investigative research organization founded and led by left-of-center activist Lisa Graves as Executive Director. It focuses on exposing the influence of conservative donors, corporations, and organizations in politics, policy, and institutions such as courts and public schools, including dark money, authoritarian infrastructure, state court capture by right-wing billionaires (e.g., Jeff Yass), disinformation targeting schools and elections, corporate accountability, climate change, anti-privatization in education, and gun control. The organization produces reports and analysis, and is associated with projects like KochDocs.org, ALEC Exposed, and collaborations with Documented.net and the Center for Media and Democracy. It works with journalists, is cited in major media outlets, and is adversarial to figures like Leonard Leo. Team members include Alyssa Bowen (Deputy Executive Director and Director of Equality Project), Evan Vorpahl (Director of State Courts and Democracy Project), and Caitlin Mahoney (researcher). While described in some sources as for-profit, it presents itself as a nonprofit watchdog group.
