Holiday Fundraising

Dear Reader,

The next few months are make-or-break for Mother Jones’ fundraising, and we need more online readers to pitch in than have been of late. In "It's Not a Crisis. This Is the New Normal," we take a level-headed look at the brutal economics of journalism, why investigative reporting like you get from us matters, and why we're optimistic we can grow our base of support in a big way—starting with hitting a huge $300,000 goal in just three weeks. Please learn more and donate if you can right now.

The next few months are make-or-break for Mother Jones’ fundraising. We need to raise $300,000 quickly, and we need more online readers to pitch in than have been. Please learn more in "It's Not a Crisis. This Is the New Normal," where we go into the brutal economics of journalism, and what makes Mother Jones unique and worth supporting if you can right now.

Hey, it’s fundraising time again! Can you feel the excitement?

I’ll keep it short: running a magazine, a website, and four separate blogs is expensive. Real journalism always is. But the recession is affecting us the same as everyone else, and we’re running a few dollars short this year. So we’re trying to raise $50,000 before we kick off 2010, and twenty or thirty bucks from a few hundred of my readers can get us a good part of the way there.

So that’s the pitch: if you like the blog, if you like the magazine, if you like our brand of journalism, help us out if you can. Don’t starve the cats to do it, but if you can afford 10 or 25 or 50 dollars to keep us going, click here to contribute. Or go here to contribute via PayPal. It’s quick, secure, and tax deductible. Thanks!
