Maldita.es becomes a non-profit foundation

Becoming the Maldita.es Foundation against misinformation: journalism, education, research and data in new formats has been a long process, much longer than we expected when we launched #FundaMaldita crowdfunding , but almost two years later we can already say that we are a nonprofit foundation .

The support of more than 1,600 Malditos and Malditas in this crowdfunding was essential to obtain the 30,000 euros necessary to make Maldita.es a civil society foundation. Becoming a foundation makes us stronger against lies and helps us remain independent and take our transparency a step further.

When we started building Maldita.es we decided that we wanted to establish ourselves as a foundation so that this project would not be owned by anyone but would belong to civil society. While we wait for registration in the registry, we have been an association that will continue to be active to finish the projects that are already underway but whose ultimate goal is to become extinct.

The association with which we have operated until now will continue: in recent months, before having the foundation in operation, we have been granted as an association some long-term projects ( like this one ) for which we have to, for a time, combine both organizations. 

What do we use your contributions for?

At Maldita.es transparency is fundamental: you have the right to know our structure and know where the money comes from and how we spend it because Maldita.es belongs to civil society: it is also yours.

In this link we break down where the money that finances our work comes from. One important thing: we do not have advertising and we do not believe in paywalls , because verified and contrasted information must be accessible to everyone.

Help us keep it that way, become an ambassador, become an ambassador.
