Dear Subscriber,

This is our quarterly financial disclosure report for the three-month period ending Sept. 30, 2020.

Our policy is to disclose the identity of any individual donor or group that contributes $1,000 or more. We also disclose the total amount, average amount and number of individual donations.

In 2015, Inside Philanthropy praised our disclosure policy for “exemplifying nonprofit transparency.”

During this three-month period, we received a total of 649 gifts from individual donors, the largest of which was $6,582. The average individual donation was $63, and half of our individual donations were $25 or less.

In addition, we received $89,340 in payments from Facebook as part of a project to debunk viral deceptions circulating on social media. Facebook has no control over our editorial decisions.

The individual donors who gave $1,000 or more:

Keith W. Kriebel and Linda A. Wells, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania: $6,582

Mo and Cher Willems Foundation, Los Angeles, California: $2,000

Donald McGee, Mukilteo, Washington: $1,500

The Catherwood Family Fund of the Philadelphia Foundation, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania: $1,000

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.

If you would like to make a contribution, we accept credit card donations through our “Donate” page. If you prefer to give by check, you can send to:

Annenberg Public Policy Center
202 S. 36th Street
Philadelphia, PA 19104-3806

Thank you for your support, especially at this difficult economic time.

Sincerely,

Eugene Kiely
Director, FactCheck.org
