GrapheneOS - Economic Audit

Supply Chain & Sourcing Relationships

GrapheneOS describes itself as an open-source operating-system project, and its history records that a former sponsor company intended to sell support, contract work, and customised OS variants before the 2018 split ¹.
GrapheneOS states that the former sponsor company is no longer associated with the project, while the available history does not identify suppliers, import entities, or Israeli product sourcing ¹.
No public evidence identified of Israeli agricultural procurement, Israeli importers of record, seasonal purchasing, distributors, white-label arrangements, or Israeli-origin product supply relationships ^{1, 2}.

The reviewed materials describe GrapheneOS as software rather than a seller of Israeli- or settlement-origin physical goods ^{1, 2}.
GrapheneOS announced a long-term partnership with Motorola in March 2026 to collaborate on future devices with official GrapheneOS support ².
The Motorola announcement does not identify an Israeli distributor, Israeli sales operation, Israeli government customer, IDF customer, or settlement-based activity ².
No public evidence identified of GrapheneOS products labelled as Israeli or settlement-origin, regulatory findings concerning country-of-origin labelling, or a published policy governing sourcing from occupied territories ^{1, 2}.

GrapheneOS Foundation is a Canadian federal soliciting not-for-profit corporation incorporated on 17 March 2023 under the Canada Not-for-profit Corporations Act ³.
The publicly visible federal record does not identify a parent, shareholders, subsidiaries, investment holdings, or foreign operating entities ³.
GrapheneOS states that the Foundation was created in Canada to receive and distribute donations, and its FAQ states that the project intends to remain a non-profit open-source project rather than create a for-profit company ^{1, 4}.
GrapheneOS states that donations support developer pay, hardware, infrastructure, legal fees, and other project-related expenses, with the Foundation identified as recipient for cryptocurrency and Wise/bank-transfer donations ⁵.
No public evidence identified of direct investments in Israel or the occupied territories, Israeli subsidiaries, Israeli research-and-development facilities, Israeli sovereign-bond holdings, or disclosed Israel-focused portfolio holdings ^{3, 1}.
The supplied document-scoped pre-scan found no “GrapheneOS” reference in the 2025 OHCHR business-enterprises database update or the 2025 UN Special Rapporteur report, but this does not establish absence from all related databases or records concerning individual directors ^{6, 7}.
No audited financial statements, tax filings, donor register, detailed funding reports, payroll disclosures, or cap-table information were identified in the reviewed public sources ^{3, 5}.

Corporations Canada lists GrapheneOS Foundation’s registered office at 198 Bain Avenue, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and records the corporation as active ³.
The GrapheneOS GitHub organisation profile lists Toronto, Ontario, Canada, although a platform-profile location does not establish a complete operational footprint ⁸.
The federal record does not list an Israeli office, warehouse, support centre, employee count, tax registration, or Israeli market revenue ³.
No public evidence identified of GrapheneOS-operated locations, personnel, tax registration, market positioning, or revenue attribution in Israel or the occupied territories ^{3, 1, 2}.
The available sources do not establish GrapheneOS Foundation’s complete physical footprint, contractor base, employee population, or principal place of management beyond the Toronto registered office and profile location ^{3, 8}.

GrapheneOS states that Daniel Micay founded the project in late 2014 as a solo open-source project ¹.
GrapheneOS further states that it remained independently owned and controlled by Micay during the former sponsor-company period ¹.
The Canadian registry lists Khalykbek Yelshibekov, Daniel Micay, and Dmytro Mukhomor as directors, with a minimum of three and maximum of 20 directors ³.
The public registry summary does not state shareholder, beneficial-owner, CEO, Chair, membership, or voting-arrangement information ³.
The registry page lists annual filings for 2024, 2025, and 2026 while also displaying overdue-filing and intent-to-dissolve notice language, so the underlying filings would be required to determine the Foundation’s precise compliance position ³.
No public evidence identified of a parent company, subsidiaries, franchisees, licensees, acquired Israeli operating companies, Israeli incorporation, Israeli headquarters, Israeli tax residency, or Israeli controlling capital ^{3, 1, 4}.
No public evidence identified of Israeli state ownership, government board appointments, Israeli state contracts, critical-infrastructure designation, or governance mechanisms linking GrapheneOS to Israeli state policy ^{3, 1, 2}.
The available sources do not identify the former CopperheadOS-era sponsor’s legal name, jurisdiction, ownership, or current status ¹.

GrapheneOS’s stated funding model is donations from individuals, companies, and other organisations, administered through a Canadian non-profit Foundation ^{4, 5}.
No public evidence identified of revenue attributable to Israel, profits repatriated to Israel, Israeli tax payments, or assessments identifying GrapheneOS as an Israeli employer, economic anchor, or infrastructure provider ^{3, 1, 2}.
The reviewed public record does not provide audited accounts, contract disclosures, donor identities, or a complete global operational map sufficient to quantify economic contribution by jurisdiction ^{3, 5}.
