Facebook has no control over our editorial decisions.

We also received $63,418 from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation in this quarter. SciCheck’s COVID-19/Vaccination Project ([link removed]) is made possible by a grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. The foundation has no control ([link removed]) over our editorial decisions, and the views expressed on our website do not necessarily reflect the views of the foundation.

For the quarter, we received $19,405 in funding from the Google News Initiative for a joint project ([link removed]) with Univision Noticias to combat COVID-19 misinformation, and $9,089 from the National Science Foundation for our small role in a project called FACT CHAMP ([link removed]) , which stands for Fact-checker, Academic, and Community Collaboration Tools: Combating Hate, Abuse, and Misinformation with Minority-led Partnerships.

Like all of our donors, Google and the National Science Foundation also have no control over our editorial decisions.
