Thanks to dedicated readers like you, we set a new record for individual contributions last fiscal year when we raised $208,990 -- with roughly half coming during our annual end-of-the-year fundraising drive.
We started this year's annual fundraising drive on Dec. 16. Since then, we have received 143 online donations totaling $9,470. Thanks to all those who have contributed! Every contribution matters. Half of our donations were $50 or less.
If you want to join the fight for facts, there are two ways to help: Credit card donations may be made through our “Donate” page or, if you prefer, you may send a check to: FactCheck.org, Annenberg Public Policy Center, 202 S. 36th St., Philadelphia, PA 19104-3806. 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.
As I've mentioned before, your support will help offset the cost of some of our most important projects in 2022, including our election coverage and our undergraduate fellowship program. In 2022, we will retain the services of an ad-tracking service that will provide us with TV and digital ads for all House and Senate races. We will also train a new class of University of Pennsylvania students, who will learn how to monitor political claims, conduct research and help us produce fact-checking articles.
FactCheck.org is a project of the University of Pennsylvania’s Annenberg Public Policy Center. 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.
Thanks again for your support throughout the years. Have a wonderful holiday and a happy and healthy New Year!
Eugene Kiely
Director, FactCheck.org
