Fact check: How much money has no kings raised this year?

1. Summary of the results

There is no direct information available about specific fundraising amounts for "No Kings" in the current year. While the movement has received significant financial support historically, including $8 million from George Soros' Open Society Foundation between 2017-2023 ^[1], none of the sources provide current year fundraising data.

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

Several important contextual elements are missing from the original question:

• "No Kings" appears to be primarily a protest movement rather than a traditional fundraising organization ^[2]
• The movement has significant backing from wealthy donors, including Christy Walton who funds full-page newspaper ads ^[1]
• The organization is currently focused on organizing protests against President Trump planned for Flag Day, June 14th, 2025 ^[2]

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The original question makes an assumption that "No Kings" is primarily a fundraising entity, which appears to be incorrect based on available information. This framing misses several key points:

• The movement's primary function appears to be organizing protests rather than fundraising ^[2]
• The funding structure seems to rely more on wealthy individual donors and established foundations rather than traditional fundraising ^[1]

Those who benefit from focusing on fundraising numbers might include:

• Political opponents who want to paint the movement as financially motivated
• Those who wish to diminish the grassroots nature of the protests by emphasizing big-donor connections
• The movement's supporters who might want to demonstrate financial strength and legitimacy through fundraising success
