Media Literacy for a Fractured Public Square

Financial Disclosures

Transparency and Accountability

The Social Institute for Media Literacy is committed to transparency, accountability, and public trust. We believe that organizations engaged in education, research, and public discourse should openly disclose how their work is funded and supported.

Our mission is to promote media literacy through education, research, and public resources. To maintain independence and credibility, SIML strives to clearly identify the sources of financial support that enable our programs, publications, and educational initiatives.

SIML may receive support through:

  • Individual donations
  • Educational program fees
  • Course enrollments
  • Classroom and institutional licenses
  • Grants and research support
  • Partnerships aligned with our mission

Any funding received is used to support educational content development, research activities, public resources, and operational costs.

Editorial Independence

Financial support does not determine the conclusions, findings, or educational content produced by SIML. Research, analysis, and educational materials are developed independently and are guided by our commitment to media literacy, intellectual integrity, and public education.

Ongoing Transparency

As SIML grows, we remain committed to maintaining clear and accessible financial disclosure practices. Significant funding relationships, sponsorships, or institutional partnerships will be disclosed when relevant to our work.

Transparency strengthens trust, and trust strengthens public education.
