Editor’s Circle

Membership in the Editor’s Circle begins with an annual giving level of $1,000 or more and confers a number of benefits, all of which aim to invite members to participate more intimately in the First Things intellectual community of editors, writers, and scholars.

There are a few ways to make an Editor’s Circle–level gift to First Things:

• Give online at donate.firstthings.com
• To give by wire and asset transfer, contact Claire Giuntini, Director of the Editor’s Circle, at [email protected] or 212-627-1985. The Institute’s EIN is 52-1628303.
• Give by mail by making your check out to First Things or the Institute on Religion and Public Life and mailing it to our editorial offices at 9 East 40th Street, 10th Floor, New York, NY 10016.
