IN 2021, WE REACHED NEARLY 3 MILLION HEAVY SOCIAL MEDIA USERS WHO RARELY SEE NEWS OR OTHER CREDIBLE INFORMATION. OUR CAMPAIGNS COVERED ELECTION INTEGRITY, COVID/VACCINES AND CLIMATE CHANGE. CAMPAIGN METRICS SHOW VERY STRONG INTEREST IN THE CONTENT. WE WORKED WITH ACADEMICS FROM THE YALE CENTER FOR CLIMATE COMMUNICATIONS TO DEVELOP A METHOD TO RUN RANDOMIZED CONTROL TESTS ENTIRELY ON INSTAGRAM, AND FOUND 30-40% BOOST IN FACTUAL KNOWLEDGE 1-3 DAYS POST EXPOSURE TO CLIMATE AND VACCINE INFORMATION AND 17-32% SHIFT IN OPINIONS 7-18 DAYS POST EXPOSURE. EARLY RESULTS ALSO SUGGEST THAT WE CAN DRIVE AN AUDIENCE WITH LOW VOTER PARTICIPATION TO REGISTER TO VOTE. OUR CAMPAIGNS AIM TO SHARE CREDIBLE INFORMATION IN A WAY THAT MAKES THEM FEEL SMART AND CONFIDENT, AND EQUIPS THEM TO GET BETTER AT IDENTIFYING AND RESISTING MANIPULATIVE CONTENT. 1303743 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 12 0 14 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 3 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 VA X DEB ROTMAN 5744402677 3750 CASTLE HILL DRIVE BROWNBURG IN 46112 BURT HERMAN PRESIDENT 3.00 X X 0 0 0 JENNIFER LEE BOARD MEMBER 18.00 X 85000 0 0 ANIKA GUPTA BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 MARIANO BLEJMAN BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 CONNIE SEHAT PROGRAM DIRECTOR 40.00 X 141868 0 0 DEBORAH L ROTMAN DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS 40.00 X 18549 0 1750 245417 0 1750 1 0 0 0 0 1386750 1386750 EVENT INCOME 900099 9835 9835 9835 80 80 1396665 9835 0 80 X 244497 244497 247166 170370 76796 309249 213382 95867 663 663 1934 1934 46620 32168 14452 12972 10378 2594 16000 16000 409970 392402 17568 181636 181636 7649 210 7439 44124 11500 32624 33784 1300 70 32414 44211 44211 10440 10440 BANK AND VENDOR FEES 1919 1919 PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMEN 1689 1689 1614523 1303743 278366 32414 133020 100432 446937 769379 670193 75000 349 1033 7345 6905 1257844 952749 282950 194934 282950 194934 X 88342 -128737 886552 886552 974894 757815 1257844 952749 -217858 779 0 X 0 0 0 X 486180 1384914 738709 1155773 1386750 5152326 486180 1384914 738709 1155773 1386750 5152326 990926 4161400 22 651 519 277 80 1549 5153875 0.80740 0.74960 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 1 KNOWLEDGE FUTURES 245 MAIN STREET FLOOR 2 CAMBRIDGE MA 02142 843111259 150125 0 SUPPORT OF OPEN-SOURCE TECHNOLOGY THAT COMBATS MISINFORMATION COLAB COOP PO BOX 444 TRUMANSBURG NY 14886 842571970 75000 0 COLLABORATIVE SUPPORT ON RELIABLE SOURCES RESEARCH WIKIMEDIA FOUNDATION INC 1 MONTGOMERY ST SUITE 1600 SAN FRANCISCO CA 94104 200049703 7999 0 GRANT AWARD ADMINISTRATION MOZILLA FOUNDATION 2 HARRISON STREET SUITE 175 SAN FRANCISCO CA 94105 200097189 11373 0 SUPPORT OF RELIABLE INTERNET INFORMATION 2 2 PART I, LINE 2: THE ORGANIZATION HAS A REVIEW PROCESS FOR ALL APPLICANTS FOR GRANTS AWARDED BY THE ORGANIZATION.
