Triple your investment in PolitiFact and independent fact-checking today!

By Josie Hollingsworth
November 1, 2019

Since we started in 2007, PolitiFact has prioritized transparency and integrity in our fact-checking. We exist to hold the powerful accountable — and we put truth at the forefront of the national conversation. 

With formal impeachment proceedings starting for President Donald Trump, and a national election just a year away, if we don’t expose the truth in politics, who will?

That’s why we’re excited to share an opportunity where today, through the end of the year, you can triple any donation you make to PolitiFact. We have once again been selected to participate in NewsMatch, a national matching-gift campaign that drives donations to nonprofit newsrooms (like us!) around the country. Thanks to NewsMatch and the support of other donors, if you donate to PolitiFact, your support goes three times as far!

Starting now — through December 31 — any new monthly donation or one-time donation will be tripled. For a nonprofit like us, this is a big deal and will help us deliver the kind of important fact-checking you’ve come to expect, every day.

This news can’t wait. So why would you?
Give today and triple the impact of your donation.
