Our Mission
Climate Money Watchdog is a nonpartisan independent watchdog that investigates and exposes waste, corruption, abuse of power with a focus on government expenditures related to climate change mitigation and environmental remediation.
When the government and private organizations fail the public or silence those who report wrongdoing, we will be there as an open or anonymous place for them to help expose the corruption and maleficence.
We champion reforms to achieve more effective, ethical, and accountable federal, state, and local government that safeguards constitutional principles and fiscal responsibility for climate and environmental spending.

Who We Are
Dina Rasor
Executive Director Dina Rasor was a partner in the Bauman and Rasor Group which does investigative and consulting work on lawsuits including health care fraud, military procurement fraud and other Federal government fraud and writes investigative books. Her past work on qui tam False Claims Act lawsuits with whistleblowers has recovered over $200 million dollars to the Federal government coffers. Ms. Rasor founded the Project on Military Procurement (Now Project on Government Oversight POGO.org, where she serves on the Board of Directors) in 1981 and directed it for ten years. In that capacity, Ms. Rasor researched and publicized many of the major defense scandals of the 1980s such as the infamous $7,600 coffee brewer and the $670 armrest in the C-5 cargo plane, as well as the ineffectiveness of major weapons systems and other procurement fraud. She also worked as an investigative journalist for newspapers and television. Ms. Rasor authored The Pentagon Underground, co-authored the whistleblower's manual Courage without Martyrdom: A Survival Guide for Whistleblowers, and co-authored two investigative books with Robert Bauman, Betraying Our Troops: The Destructive Results of Privatizing War and Shattered Minds:How the Pentagon Fails Our Troops with Faulty Helmets.
