The Brotherhood
We don’t take the law into our hands.
We hand them to the law.
The Mission
IBPH exists for one reason: to fund independent investigators who track down predators, gather evidence, and deliver results directly to law enforcement for prosecution. Not to take justice into our hands. Not to confront, assault, or endanger anyone. To fund the people who do this the right way — and make sure their work ends in handcuffs and courtrooms, not viral videos and dismissed cases.
Every shirt sold puts $10 toward that mission. Every LOCAL represents a community that has skin in the game. The Brotherhood is the network that makes it possible.
How the Money Works
You Buy a Shirt
$10 from every sale is set aside for the region matching your LOCAL’s area code.
Funds Pool by Region
Money accumulates in each of the 9 US Census regions. The live map shows every LOCAL’s contribution in real time.
We Vet and Distribute
Each quarter we identify vetted investigators operating in each region and cut direct payments to their operations.
We Report Publicly
Every distribution is announced publicly — who received it, how much, and what their operations have produced.
Who We Fund — The Standard
Not every hunter makes the list. We have published criteria and we stick to them. An investigator must meet all of the following to receive IBPH funding:
Documented Arrests and Convictions
Confrontations alone don’t count. We fund operations that result in actual arrests and prosecutions. The track record has to be real.
Works With Law Enforcement
Evidence must be handed directly to law enforcement for prosecution. The goal is conviction, not content.
Clean Methodology
No assault. No evidence tampering. No conduct that would get a case thrown out of court. The Brotherhood funds operations that end in courtrooms, not dismissals.
Multiple Successful Prosecutions
One catch isn’t a track record. We fund investigators who have a consistent, documented history of operations that result in legal consequences.
No Physical Confrontation or Assault
Any investigator with documented instances of physical violence, assault charges, or conduct that endangered anyone is not eligible for IBPH funding.
No Case-Tainting Conduct
If an investigator’s methods have resulted in cases being dismissed or evidence being ruled inadmissible, they are not eligible. Getting the conviction matters.
Know Someone Doing It Right?
If you know an independent investigator whose work meets our standard — real arrests, real convictions, clean methodology, law enforcement cooperation — nominate them for consideration.
We review all nominations and reach out directly to investigators we believe qualify. We don’t make promises, but we take every legitimate nomination seriously.
Nominate an Investigator →Your LOCAL
The Brotherhood operates on a union local model. Every member belongs to a LOCAL identified by their area code — LOCAL 760, LOCAL 713, LOCAL 337. Your LOCAL isn’t just a number on a shirt. It’s a declaration that your community has people who care enough to fund the fight.
The Live Impact Map on the site shows every LOCAL’s contribution — how much your area code has raised, how much your region has funded, and where the money went.

We publish this because we have nothing to hide. Every shirt sold breaks down like this:
$10 to the mission. The rest keeps the lights on. That’s the deal.
