Hello fans of the About Time Project

Critical thinking deserves your support, now more than ever

 

It’s hard to know what information to trust these days. We’re trying to make it a little easier.

 

About Time supports the work of dozens of volunteers through its status as a non-profit charity (a 501(c)3 in the U.S.). Your support helps the skeptic movement bring people together, provide reliable information to millions of people and bring some accountability to psychic mediums.

 

A volunteer organization with practically no overhead, we make every donation count.

An all-volunteer organization: Nobody draws a salary. Dozens of volunteers give thousands of hours to projects they love.                              

​

Stretching every dollar: We got started with an award from the James Randi Educational Foundation in 2017. Your support keeps us going year to year.

 

Wikipedia

With the information landscape more fragmented than ever, Wikipedia is really taking its place as a trusted site for a wide variety of topics, from scientific topics to the paranormal. However, what’s in Wikipedia articles is only as good as the editors constantly revising, fact-checking and incorporating new information from reliable sources.

The work of multilingual volunteer editors has been seen over 2 hundred million times since the project began, adding some 2 million every month across more than 2,300 articles.

 

Scholarships

You help us develop new skillful volunteers! We award modest scholarships to individuals who want to attend events and sharpen their critical thinking skills.

 

Monterey County SkeptiCamp

California’s premier skepticamp is back with an in-person format, usually the first weekend of the new year. Help support this event with your donation and join us if you’re in the area.

 

Grief Vampires exposed

Still an important part of our agenda – we released multiple investigations into the world of psychic mediums.

 

Getting people organized

Organizing groups of critical thinkers takes skill, time and some encouragement from time to time. In collaboration with the Center of Inquiry, I travel to meet as many groups as possible to share best practices and encourage contact between them.

 

See you in 2027

 

For 2026, we all want a community that promotes science and pushes back against magical thinking. Thank you for your efforts and for any support you can give us.

 

Yes, I still do the weekly Social Trivia. You’re all welcome to participate.
