Dear Subscriber,

This is our latest quarterly financial report for the third quarter of our fiscal year 2021.

During this three-month period, we received a total of 540 gifts from individual donors and the largest single donation was $10,000. The average individual donation was $92, and half of our individual donations were $25 or less.

In addition, we received $66,550 from Facebook as part of a fact-checking project to debunk viral deceptions circulating on social media, and $1,829 from Facebook to fund a NABJ fact-checking fellowship position at FactCheck.org. Facebook has no control over our editorial decisions.

We also received $53,501 from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. SciCheck’s COVID-19/Vaccination Project is made possible by a grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. The views expressed here do not necessarily reflect the views of the foundation.

The individual donors who gave $1,000 or more in the second quarter:

Tracey Ludwin, Portland, Oregon: $12,155

Mike and Gretchen Apgar, Kalispell, Montana: $10,000

Donald McGee, Mukilteo, Washington: $1,500

Barbara Rosen, $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.
