InquireFirst is a journalism nonprofit based in San Diego, California, operating in the book and periodical publishing sector with a focus on investigative reporting. The organization describes its model as a collaborative effort by more than a dozen prominent journalists, pursuing annual investigations into topics of national importance while adhering to established ethical and reporting standards. Distinctive elements of its approach include leveraging emerging technologies and social media to reach audiences not typically exposed to investigative work, maintaining engagement through interactive platforms that encourage public input and accountability, and sustaining coverage on a topic until the underlying problems are addressed, even if that requires a long timeline.

Since its inception, InquireFirst has organized and supported cross-border, science, health, and environment reporting initiatives, notably under its Historias Sin Fronteras program launched in 2019. The organization has conducted workshops and awarded reporting grants through events connected to the World Conference of Science Journalists, and has earned recognition through international environmental journalism awards in the subsequent years. Based in San Diego, its operations appear oriented toward cross-border collaboration and extending investigative journalism beyond traditional outlets.
