Today, we’re launching our annual end-of-year fundraising drive. Please consider donating to FactCheck.org.
When I tell people what I do for a living, they often have a common response: “You’ve been busy.” Indeed, we have.
We provide nonpartisan analysis of political claims. This year, our staff of eight has had plenty of material to cover – fact-checking false and misleading claims on a host of topics, from tariffs to health care; providing Q&A explainers on legal issues; disentangling distortions of science from political appointees.
We want the public to have accurate information and to be able to sort fact from fiction. That’s why FactCheck.org was founded, way back in 2003, and it’s that commitment to public service journalism that keeps us going.
If you believe in journalism, in its ability to hold power to account and its importance in a democracy, please consider donating to support our work.
We provide in-depth articles, delving into the claim we’re checking but also explaining the broader issue. (And much of our work is also available in Spanish.) If you need shorter summaries, we’ve got you covered on our social media with quick wrap-ups and videos.
We’re a nonprofit project of the University of Pennsylvania’s Annenberg Public Policy Center. Our content has always been available for free. We don’t accept any advertising, and we don’t take money from unions, partisan organizations or advocacy groups.
If you’d like to contribute, credit card donations may be made through our “Donate” page. You can give once or set up recurring monthly contributions.
If you prefer to give by check, send to: FactCheck.org, Annenberg Public Policy Center, P.O. Box 58100, Philadelphia, PA 19102. Checks can be made payable to “The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania” with a note in the memo field indicating the donation is for FactCheck.org.
The University of Pennsylvania is a 501(c)(3) organization, and your contribution is deductible from U.S. federal income taxes to the full extent allowed by law.
In the interest of transparency, our policy is to disclose the identity of any donor who contributes $1,000 or more in quarterly financial reports we post on our website.
Our annual fundraising appeal will last through the end of the year, and we will provide updates on our progress.
We greatly appreciate your support.
