Overview

Mission

Truth hackers is a nonpartisan nonprofit dedicated to helping people build cognitive immunity - the skills to think clearly, independently, and responsibly in today's information environment. We develop and test practice-based learning experiences that help individuals recognize manipulation, evaluate information, and navigate uncertainty without telling them what to believe.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
