Luna > funding from federal grants … only amount to about 2%
you surely heard (or read) this on NPR, so this is reliable!
Note that 32% of their funding comes from fees from their “member stations”. Member stations are funded in part by government funds and CPB. CPB in turn is FULLY funded by federal government. Each of these organizations are also charities, that is donations is partially subsidized by government.
So before adding all of this up, I feel justified to declare this fact check as “mostly untrue”.
