Overview

Mission

To foster online culture where every person can freely participate in a democratic open rational and truth-based exchange of ideas and information without fear or threat of being the target of unwarranted abuse harassment or lies.

What it reported doing in 2021

Operating model

Revenue model: Donor-supported. 98% 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

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
