A Crucial Bulwark

I’m happy to report that we’ve raised nearly $200,000 so far. Our spring campaign goal was very ambitious—$500,000. Now it’s crunch time!

Donors and readers like you constitute a crucial bulwark against the nonsense at large today. Many people are disoriented, including some of our friends and family members. They need us, not just as loving friends, parents, and siblings, but also as articulate, informed voices of reason. That’s what First Things helps us become.

Together, we can become an even stronger voice for religious commitment and moral truth in the public square. Please consider making a generous donation. Your contribution—and your faithful commitment to what First Things stands for—can make a difference.

Thanks for your support.

R. R. Reno is editor of First Things.

Dear Reader,

Can I be direct with you?

War abroad. Socialists on the rise. AI upending human life. Endless uproar online. The modern attention economy doesn’t want readers — it wants users enslaved to the tyranny of the present.

First Things is the antidote: literary excellence, timeless truths, and a fixed point of reference in a culture that has lost its bearings.

But we can’t do it without readers like you.

Our goal: Raise $150,000 by November 1 to sustain First Things in the year ahead.


Your gift anchors readers in the permanent things.
