Our first quarter report for FY 2023
** FY 2023 First Quarter Financial Report
------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Subscriber,
Thanks to everyone who contributed to support our work in the first quarter of fiscal year 2023. In the first three months of the fiscal year that began July 1, we received more than 300 donations from our readers, totaling nearly $12,000.
FactCheck.org was created in 2003 with a founding grant from the Annenberg Foundation. Over the years, we have sought to diversify our funding sources to continue our work and expand our mission. We began accepting individual donations in April 2010, and received nearly $170,000 from our readers in fiscal year 2022.
If you would like to make a donation on Giving Tuesday or throughout the year, 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.
Thank you again for your continued support.
Sincerely,
Eugene Kiely
Director, FactCheck.org
