Support CENTEF
A note from our CEO

When we founded CENTEF, our goal was to analyze terror organizations through a financial lens, using a technological drive, the way you would any other business. Naturally, these groups aren't keen to share their finances. They understand that revealing their financial reports would expose their pain points, which the Counter-Terror Financing community would quickly turn into choke points. Because Hezbollah's financial reports were nowhere to be found, we set out to research and build them ourselves.


There are many estimates of Hezbollah's overall annual budget. Most rely on guesswork, some on fragmented data, and all of them look exclusively at the revenue side. But the beauty of financial reports is that they are a closed system that must ultimately balance. So we asked a simple question: why not analyze Hezbollah from the expense side? And that is exactly what we set out to do. We assembled a team of experts from diverse fields, armed them with the best technology we developed and acquired, and dove deep into the challenge.


Today, and over the coming weeks and months, we are proud to unveil the results of this unprecedented research. We welcome your feedback on our assumptions, details and conclusions, and we invite you to join and support CENTEF's work as we expand this initiative.

SUPPORT INDEPENDENT RESEARCH ON TERROR FINANCING

Terror financing is constantly evolving — across borders, financial systems, technologies, and jurisdictions.

CENTEF conducts independent, data-driven research to uncover how terrorist organizations raise, move, and use funds. We turn complex financial information into actionable research, tools, and insights for policymakers, financial institutions, and the wider research community.

Your support makes this work possible.

WHAT YOUR SUPPORT ENABLES

YOUR CONTRIBUTION HELPS CENTEF:

  • Investigate terror financing networks and the individuals, entities, and financial mechanisms behind them.
  • Track emerging threats across traditional finance, digital assets, commercial activity, and other evolving channels.
  • Build research and analytical tools that reveal connections hidden within complex financial data.
  • Produce timely, actionable analysis for policymakers and institutions working to understand and disrupt terror financing.
  • Keep our research independent and focused on the questions that matter most.
Why Independent Support Matters

Terrorists are early adopters of innovation, and terror financing networks adapt quickly. Understanding them requires sustained research, access to data, specialized expertise, technological infrastructure and the ability to investigate emerging threats as they develop.

Independent support gives CENTEF the resources to pursue this work with depth, speed, and analytical independence.
