Every donation of $100 or more will get matched by an anonymous donor and get you a copy of Joe Sacco’s book Footnotes in Gaza. (Image: Joe Sacco)
Dear readers,
Our fundraiser is coming to a close in four days and we need a little bit more help! Thanks to the generosity of our incredible readers, we’re close to our goal (see the counter on the right), and this is your chance to get us there, and get a tax-deduction to boot.
This website doesn’t run on fumes. We need money. It used to be a labor of love. The two of us were willing to sacrifice sanity and health and lavish lifestyles for the sake of a cause–getting Americans to talk about a central foreign policy issue. But the site is nearly six years old and we still keep it fresh seven days a week and none of seeks a lavish lifestyle but we need to make this place more professional. That’s why we have our new A team (Alex, Allison and Annie, all helping out) and why we are trying to keep saner hours and why we are trying to make the posts more substantive than ever.
We need you to help out. We don’t bring a gray donation curtain over your reading experience. We don’t have popup ads with hard-to-find exit-clickers. We just run fundraisers twice a year to try and raise $40,000.
This is one of em. Please help out with a tax-deductible donation.
Thanks,
Phil and Adam
I’m starting do some fundraising for mondo. I hope it pans out.
For anyone who wants to pitch in, the most important piece of information imo is this:
“Here is Phil Weiss writing about the current fundraiser:
“Our target is $40,000. And half of that is matching funds from generous large donors. So we need $20,000 from readers during this holiday season. Our reader fundraising drives account for nearly half our yearly budget, the rest comes from individual donors. We do not receive finding from foundations or organizations.
All contributions are tax-deductible, thanks to our sponsor, the Center for Economic Research and Social Change.”
I also added:
The site has grown since I joined, and the level of discussion in the comments sections is often astonishing. I mostly read and learn, but I do make the odd comment under the handle patm.
When I wrote to a longtime friend asking how to reach their Jewish friends in NY, I added:
I’ve no idea if they are anti-Zionists or ‘liberal’ Zionists; it is the latter group that needs to get on the bandwagon, and pronto.
Will link the fundraiser around.
Trying to donate from the UK – it worked last time, but this time it seems I need to belong to an American state and to have a zip code.
I donated a little two weeks ago. Does that count? :)
Keep up the good work.
Oy! I lost my gold star, which, unfortunately was applied to my name in error. But now that I’ve had it, my name doesn’t look right without it. But I know how to get it back, and I will.
