In 2023, when Twitter/X added a "Government-Funded Media" label to NPR's posts, NPR responded that "we're not" "government funded." In contrast, NPR's webpage on "Public Radio Finances" states that "federal funding is essential to public radio's service to the American public and its continuation is critical for both stations and program producers, including NPR." Paradoxically, the webpage also says that "less than 1% of NPR's annual operating budget comes in the form of grants from CPB and federal agencies and departments." However, that excludes the money NPR receives from its "member organizations," which constitute 31% of NPR's revenues. About 14% of the revenues of these organizations are funded by CPB and other federal, state, and local government agencies.
