Dear Subscriber, 

This is our latest financial report for the third quarter of our fiscal year 2023. Thanks to all who have made donations, which supplement our finances and allow us to continue our work.

During this three-month period, we received a total of 294 gifts from individual donors, and the largest single donation was $5,000. The average individual donation was $55, and half of our individual donations were $20 or less.

In addition, we received $96,995 from Facebook as part of an independent third-party fact-checking program to correct misinformation on social media. Facebook has no control over our editorial decisions.

We also received $60,363 from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation in this quarter. SciCheck articles correcting health misinformation are made possible by a grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. The foundation has no control over our editorial decisions, and the views expressed on our website do not necessarily reflect the views of the foundation.

Allen Stenger, Alamogordo, New Mexico: $5,000

In addition to the sums reported here, FactCheck.org receives in-kind support from the Annenberg Public Policy Center including some infrastructure costs as well as supervisory, technical, and administrative support from APPC faculty and staff. We do not attempt to assign a dollar value to these in-kind services, which are funded from the APPC’s own resources.

So far, we have received $102,135 in individual donations for the first three quarters of FY 2023. If you would like to make a donation, please visit our “Donate” page, where you can contribute via credit card.
