From GOOGLE AI OVERVIEW:
"Based on the most recent information available, NPR reports that it receives about 1% of its funding directly from the federal government. Some sources, including The New York Times and Oklahoma State University, cite a figure of 2% for NPR's direct federal funding."

But then again, it has been/is being operated by liberals so am not surprised.
