Source evidence
2 src · 3 checksNoteThe source text directly and explicitly confirms both components of the claim: (1) RDP's legal structure is fiscal sponsorship by Goodnation Foundation, and (2) the EIN is 81-4768448. The exact sentence appears in the source material verbatim. The subject (Revolving Door Project) matches the claim perfectly.
NoteThe claim states that the Revolving Door Project's legal structure is 'Project of the Goodnation Foundation.' However, the source text clearly states it is 'a fiscally sponsored project of the Goodnation Foundation' — not simply 'a project of' the foundation. The source also indicates it was 'originally a project of the Center for Economic and Policy Research (CEPR)' before becoming fiscally sponsored by Goodnation Foundation. Additionally, the source lists the organization type as 'Project of the Center for Economic and Policy Research' in the initial information box, suggesting the legal/organizational structure may be more complex than the claim indicates. The distinction between 'fiscally sponsored project' and 'project of' represents a meaningful legal/structural difference.
NoteThe claim states that the Revolving Door Project's legal structure is 'Project of the Goodnation Foundation.' However, the source text contains a direct contradiction. In the initial Status field, it explicitly states the organization is a 'Project of the Center for Economic and Policy Research.' While the source does mention that it is 'fiscally sponsored' by the Goodnation Foundation and was 'originally' a project of CEPR, the primary legal/structural designation given in the Status field is CEPR, not Goodnation Foundation. The claim oversimplifies or misrepresents the actual legal structure by omitting the CEPR connection and presenting only the fiscal sponsorship relationship.
