In just eight days, America will elect its next president.
The more pressing deadline, though, is that of the 2024 FIRST THINGS Fall Appeal, which concludes on October 31 at 11:59 p.m.

We mention the election for more than a bit of fun with chronology.
In 2020, more than 155 million Americans voted for president. There’s more to civic participation than casting a vote, but the sheer scale of our elections can make one feel powerless to influence its outcome in any real way.
Then consider what a contribution—even of a modest amount—can accomplish at FIRST THINGS.
Your first gift of $100, $250, or—as your means allow—$1,000 or more can introduce FIRST THINGS to new people through discounted subscriptions, enable FIRST THINGS to publish influential articles, and give religious believers like you and me a bold yet thoughtful advocate in the public square.
What’s more, your gift could determine whether we meet or fall short of our $200,000 Fall Appeal goal.
As it stands now, we need readers like you—including thirty more first-time contributors—to give a total of $41,678 by October 31 at 11:59 p.m. or we won’t make it!
Want to make a difference, no matter who wins the election next week? Make a gift to FIRST THINGS today.
