Transparency
Where the money comes from, and where it goes.
We’re a 501(c)(3) public charity. We publish our funding mix, our spending, our governing documents, and our neutrality audits — and we update them quarterly.

Funding sources
How we’re funded
Contributions are charitable, cost-recovery support — never a purchase. No single funder may direct editorial or program decisions.
Use of funds
Where it goes
Programs include the civic tools, the reading series, and the open curriculum; grants flow to independent partner projects.
Governance
How decisions get made
A working board
Directors and officers govern the nonprofit; a separate cross-spectrum editorial board oversees neutrality. The two are kept distinct on purpose.
Quarterly audits
An independent reviewer audits our content and tools for partisan framing and source compliance. Findings — including failures — are published.
Bug-bounty on bias
Anyone can report a confirmed neutrality regression for a bounty. Neutrality is a system we test, not a virtue we claim.
