Dear Reader,

An exciting announcement: Thanks to a very generous Editor’s Circle supporter, from today through December 21 at 11:59 p.m. your gift to FIRST THINGS will be matched in full up to a total of $60,000.


You can make things easy for us by ponying up the full $60,000 yourself, right now.


In all seriousness, this matching challenge presents readers like you with a tremendous opportunity to make a lasting impact for FIRST THINGS, no matter the size of your gift.


Consider: Your gift of $100 will be doubled to $200, $250 doubled to $500, $500 doubled to $1,000, and $1,000 . . . well, you get the idea.


So, my humble request: Will you help FIRST THINGS unlock the full $60,000 match by making a gift today?

A few clarifying notes:

  • Gifts given during this matching period qualify you to join our first-ever virtual Editor’s Roundtable ($100 or more) and choose from our selection of year-end books ($250 or more).


  • All online gifts made today through December 21 will count toward the $60,000 match.


  • Donation checks (mailed to 9 East 40th Street, Tenth Floor, New York, NY 10016) with a check date of December 17–21 will count.


  • Gifts from an individual retirement account or donor-advised fund (EIN: 52-1628303) that are initiated on or before December 21 will count.

  • Gifts of appreciated assets (custodian: Charles Schwab; DTC clearing: 0164; account number: 4634-3633), wire transfer, or ACH that are received on or before December 21 will count.  


Thank you in advance for helping FIRST THINGS take full advantage of this wonderful match opportunity!


Your gift of any size will have double the impact, today through December 21.

Yours,

R. R. Reno
Editor
