Dear Reader,

You may have noticed that American institutions have a trust problem. After Covid cover-ups, incessant media gaslighting, and rampant campus radicalism, they heartily deserve it.

But the solution is not to abandon institutions altogether. Rather, religious conservatives like you and me must shore up better, more trustworthy institutions—institutions who are what they say they are.

When Richard John Neuhaus founded FIRST THINGS in 1990, he made clear that it was not to be an “entirely openminded” publication. He laid out in great detail what he called FIRST THINGS’ “editorial prejudices.”

Thirty-five years later, FIRST THINGS remains faithful to the vision that Fr. Neuhaus cast in our inaugural March 1990 issue.

The support of faithful readers like you is what keeps it that way. And it’s why FIRST THINGS needs your Founder’s Appeal support today.

Will you honor Fr. Neuhaus’s legacy and secure the future of FIRST THINGS by setting up a monthly, recurring gift before midnight tonight?

Your monthly gift of $10, $25, or even $50 or $100 or more is urgently needed before the Founder’s Appeal ends at midnight!
