==== Funding ====

Prior to 2010, the website was funded by [[Annenberg Foundation]], [[Annenberg Public Policy Center]] and [[Flora Family Foundation]].((//Our Funding.// FactCheck.org. Retrieved January 28, 2023, from https://web.archive.org/web/20230128094729/https://www.factcheck.org/our-funding/)) In April 2010, donations from the public started being solicited. In 2015, [[Inside Philanthropy]] praised the website's disclosure policy for “exemplifying nonprofit transparency.”

[[Facebook]] and [[Google]] have both funded FactCheck.org. Facebook "provides funding as part of Facebook’s initiative to debunk viral deceptions" while Google "provided a one-time grant to support [FactCheck.org's] [[COVID-19 pandemic|COVID-19]] coverage in 2020."

Donations are managed for the website by the [[University of Pennsylvania]].
