The purpose of the Project is to give Organization the means to kickstart an impactful fact brief program that will improve the public's understanding of important civic issues and counter misinformation. This program should benefit Organization in terms of engagement and traffic, and eventually become a source of revenue, while contributing to the broader mission of the Gigafact network. Both organizations will collaborate to achieve these goals.
