The Revet Foundation
We're a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization shining a critical light on the trustworthiness of news sources.
About
From fostering the proliferation of fake news, to designing experiences that negatively impact the health and safety of our nation's youth, the platforms where consumers get their news can not be trusted to serve the best interests of society or democracy.
That's why we formed The Revet Foundation, a new nonpartisan, nonprofit organization with a mission to educate U.S. consumers on the trustworthiness of the web's news sources.
With secret algorithms serving up content on Big Tech's terms, we believe it's critical to provide the public with facts about the the publications, people, and practices behind the content they read online.

Leadership
Matt Grisafi, Founder & CEO
The Revet Foundation was inspired by Matt's two decades as a media industry leader and journalist. More specifically, by his frustration with how big tech’s policies, tactics, conflicts of interest, and vacuum of journalism leadership are failing the public, our news ecosystem, and democracy.
From leading publisher standards and news index quality at Microsoft, to advertising products at Mediavine, and publishing at Digital First Media, Grist, and YES!, he's gained a unique, 360-degree understanding of our broken news ecosystem.
