This GivingTuesday, support PolitiFact’s independent fact-checking

By Ellen Hine
November 28, 2023

If you’re reading this story, you likely care about the facts. 

It’s GivingTuesday, which is built on the idea of radical generosity following Black Friday spending. This day is all about helping our institutions for the social good, such as journalism. 

On days like today, we know you show up for organizations that make a difference, and we know you acknowledge our shared desire for truth in politics.

We believe in the generosity and kindness of PolitiFact readers, and hope to raise $8,000 by the end of the day today. As an added bonus, thanks to the support of a matching charity, your gifts are being matched dollar for dollar through Dec. 31. 

Today and every day, every act of generosity counts. If you’re willing to give an additional gift today, our nonprofit fact-checking newsroom will put your donation to good use, holding the powerful to account. 

Plus, we’re throwing in an extra bonus: If you donate $30 or more today, you could win a brand-new PolitiFact Election 2024 shirt. 

Give today to support a newsroom you love (and increase your chances of getting some swag!)
