Dear Reader,

With this email, I am pleased to launch the digital phase of the 2024 FIRST THINGS Year-End Campaign.


Thanks to the generous giving of 393 readers, FIRST THINGS has already received $370,252 toward our December 31 goal of $950,000 from 1,250 readers.


Your special first gift is urgently needed to meet the $579,548 that remains of our goal and ensure that we can publish FIRST THINGS in the new year.


Make your year-end gift now by clicking on this link or on the button below.

To demonstrate how vital your first gift is, my colleagues and I are planning an exclusive Editor’s Roundtable to be hosted on Zoom in January for readers who make gifts of $100 or more.


We will also be sending complimentary year-end books to readers who give $250 or more by December 31. Visit our donation page here to review our six year-end books and make your selection.


Specifically, your gift is needed to:

  • Publish our flagship print magazine in its thirty-fifth year

  • Expand our digital content offerings for the brand-new firstthings.com (coming next month!)

  • Introduce FIRST THINGS to new readers through more and better promotion of our best and most influential articles

  • Bring FIRST THINGS to more present and future people of influence— including students, professors, legislators, pastors, and priests—through targeted marketing efforts and special subscriptions.


Reader, our cultural moment demands a bold, influential FIRST THINGS magazine.


And you have a momentous opportunity to bring the voice of FIRST THINGS to many more people by making your first gift to FIRST THINGS today.


Let’s seize this opportunity together. Make your timely year-end gift today.

Yours,

R. R. Reno
Editor
