Fundraising policy

Funding Policy

  • The Checker operates under the non-profit organization INSM, making it a non-profit project.

  • We handle our funding sources transparently and ensure that funding has no influence on the conclusions we reach during our fact-checking processes.

  • Neither The Checker nor its parent organization INSM accepts donations or support from:

    • Unknown or anonymous sources

    • Political parties

    • Elected officials

    • Candidates seeking public office

    • Or any entity that presents a conflict of interest

  • The Checker and INSM do not permit any form of interference from funders regarding:

    • The content we produce

    • The outcomes of our investigations

    If such interference occurs, we reassess the relationship with the funding source. This may involve negotiating a mutual agreement to prevent further influence or, if that fails, terminating the contract with the funder entirely.
