Our annual report for FY 2022


** FY 2022 Financial Report
------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Subscriber,
We closed our fiscal year 2022 on June 30, and received nearly $170,000 in individual contributions from readers like you. That’s down from last year's amount of $209,000.

Thanks to everyone who contributed to support our work. FactCheck.org started in 2003 with a founding grant from the Annenberg Foundation. Over the years, we have increasingly relied on other sources of income to supplement our finances, expand our mission and continue our work – including individual donations.

In FY 2022, we also received support from Facebook, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, Google and the National Science Foundation. The amounts and details are below in our year-end fiscal report. You can view all of our reports, including our FY 2022 fourth-quarter report, on our website’s “Our Funding ([link removed]) ” page.

If you would like to make a donation for fiscal year 2023, please visit our “Donate” page ([link removed]) , where you can contribute via credit card and make one-time or recurring monthly donations.

If you prefer to give by check, send to:
FactCheck.org
Annenberg Public Policy Center
202 S. 36th St.
Philadelphia, PA 19104-3806

FactCheck.org is a project of the University of Pennsylvania's Annenberg Public Policy Center, so your contribution is deductible from U.S. federal income taxes to the full extent allowed by law.

Our policy is to disclose the identity of any individual donor giving $1,000 or more. We also disclose the total amount, average amount and number of individual donations. You can find more information about our finances on our website ([link removed]) .

Thank you again for your continued support.

Sincerely,
Eugene Kiely
Director, FactCheck.org
