A confident headline is a starting point, not evidence. Use these three checks to understand what a post, ad or fundraising appeal is actually saying.
Separate a checkable statement from an opinion or prediction. Note who said it, when, and which election or jurisdiction it concerns.
Open the original document, full speech or unedited recording. Check whether the date, quotation and figures match the claim.
Compare the evidence with a fact-checker’s analysis and read any corrections. For voting procedures, confirm the answer with your election office.

Support public accountability
Three ways to support the work: checking claims, investigating power and defending fair rules. Explore each organization’s approach, then give through its official donation page.
Check the claims
Checks factual claims in political ads, speeches and interviews. A project of the Annenberg Public Policy Center at the University of Pennsylvania.
Donation recipientUniversity of Pennsylvania · FactCheck Donations Fund
The Penn giving page is designated for FactCheck.org, rather than a general university gift.
Follow the evidence
An independent nonprofit newsroom investigating abuses of power in government and other institutions.
Donation recipientProPublica · EIN 14-2007220
Supports a broader newsroom, including government accountability reporting. This is not an election-only fund.
Strengthen fair rules
Uses litigation, research and policy advocacy on voting access, campaign finance and government ethics. Describes its work as nonpartisan.
Donation recipientCampaign Legal Center · EIN 04-3608387
This link supports the 501(c)(3) organization, not its separate CLC Action affiliate. It advocates specific legal and policy positions.
Original AI-generated clay illustrations represent the type of work, not the organizations’ logos or activities.
These are editorial selections for their stated missions, published work and transparency. They make editorial or legal judgments and may advocate policy changes; inclusion is not agreement with every position or a guarantee of neutrality or impact.
Donations are handled by the named recipient or its payment provider. Charity Clarity receives no commission and does not collect payments. Check the amount, recurring settings and terms before giving. Use our donation checklist ↓
Before you give
A charity, an advocacy organization and a political committee can work on related issues while receiving money under different rules. Check the exact organization behind the appeal.
Official registration or a filing helps identify an organization. It does not certify its conduct or establish that a particular gift is deductible.
Check IRS records and eligibility information. Some eligible organizations do not appear separately in the search.

Political affiliation is not an inclusion test. Documented conduct is. These standards govern resources featured in this election hub.
Fact-checking, investigative journalism and nonpartisan accountability work, alongside official voting resources and donor education. We consider relevance, identifiable recipients, published methods or work, and source transparency.
Donation links lead to the selected organizations’ official giving pages, including their authorized payment providers. We do not feature candidate campaigns, party fundraising or PAC solicitations. Links to official records are research tools, not endorsements of everyone found in those records.
We do not promote candidates, organizations or fundraising sites where reliable evidence establishes any of the following:
Disagreement with a policy, party or political viewpoint is not, by itself, evidence of this conduct.
We prioritize court and regulator findings, authenticated statements in full context, and reputable reporting supported by primary records. We consider the exact entity, date, relevance, subsequent corrections and any appeal or reversal.
Rumors, partisan labels and unverified allegations do not establish misconduct. When credible evidence raises an unresolved concern, we may withhold a link while reviewing it, without presenting the allegation as a finding.
Anyone can submit a source-backed concern or request a review. Include the page or resource, the specific issue and links to supporting evidence. We apply the same criteria to a removal or a reinstatement.
Resources can change after review. Inclusion is not a guarantee of conduct, and absence is not a finding of wrongdoing. Charity financial scores elsewhere on this site are not an assessment under this policy.
