Donations to nonprofit organizations last year declined by more than 13%. Friend,

A few weeks ago, we received a report that sent a shudder through the
entire Common Dreams office.

The study, conducted by the philanthropic research organization Giving
USA, found that the total amount of money donated to nonprofit
organizations last year dropped by more than 13%.

That’s the sharpest decline ever recorded in the 60 years that Giving
USA has conducted this survey—and a 13% drop in donations to Common
Dreams would be absolutely crippling.

We certainly understand why people are cutting back on donations. Big
corporations have used inflation as an excuse to jack up prices on
pretty much everything, making it more challenging than ever to make
ends meet. But this is like nothing we’ve ever seen. Even during the
Great Recession, it wasn’t this bad.

The good news is that if everyone who got this email donated just a
couple of dollars, we’d hit our fundraising goal for this entire
campaign. And if everyone who read an article on Common Dreams chipped
in a dollar or two, we’d be all set for the rest of the year.

That’s why we’re asking you today: Will you chip in to help bridge
the gap right now and help Common Dreams survive in this difficult
moment? We can do it if we all do our part.
