Thanks to you, we’ve raised more than $24,000 to expand our coverage for the 2016 campaign. And because 1,000 of you donated, we’ve unlocked an additional $15,000 in funding.

Thanks for all your help!

People who are still interested in donating can contribute through April 10. At that point, Beacon will charge your credit cards, and we’ll start sending out your rewards.

We’ll also get to work hiring an additional fact-checker to focus on immigration issues in the 2016 campaign.

Our work is not easy, and the 2016 campaign has been keeping us plenty busy. A typical fact-check takes 1-2 days to complete. That’s why adding an extra fact-checker to focus on the immigration debate is so critical.

Our goal, as always, is to help you sort fact from fiction, make informed decisions, and be able to call statements Pants on Fire! when warranted.

Thanks to all those who have already donated, as well as those who are considering supporting our work.
