Dear Reader,
We’ve launched our spring fundraising campaign. Some of you have received letters from me asking for your support. That’s been a great way to reach our regular readers, but some connect with us the way I’m doing so right now—by way bits and bites. Thus my electronic solicitation.
Our goal for the spring campaign is $500,000. That’s a healthy sum. But First Things is a healthy voice of religious truth today, and I’m confident we can reach that goal if folks like you contribute.
Your contribution ensures that First Things continues to flourish. We’ve done some new things this year, adding media content to our website, sponsoring lectures in a number of cities, launching an intellectual retreat, and planning a seminar on science and religious in China. And we continue to put out some of the most substantive theological, moral, an cultural analysis in the magazine and on the website. We need your support.
It’s easy to give. You can use our website. We welcome old fashioned checks. Please join the First Things community of supporters.
Sincerely,
R. R. Reno
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.
Make your Fall Campaign gift now using the button below.
If you have any questions or would like more information, please contact Giovanni Del Piero, Director of the Editor’s Circle, at gdelpiero@firstthings.com or 212-627-1985.
