About Us
The spread of misinformation and disinformation is eroding social trust, harming public health, and weakening democratic institutions. Good Information Foundation exists to reverse that trend and increase informed civic participation across communities who are increasingly being left behind by traditional media sources.
Our mission is to increase the flow of accurate, fact-based information online. We accomplish this by creating, incubating, funding, and elevating solutions that can be rapidly developed, tested, and scaled. We invest in people and programs that strengthen the information ecosystem and expand access to trustworthy information, particularly for communities that are underserved by traditional media. We are proactive and solutions-oriented, and focus our funding on efforts that are combatting the spread of misinformation and disinformation online through the increased distribution of good information.
