Friends - So far, more than 300 readers have chipped in to help the Century meet the $50K gift challenge! Can we add you to the list? Donate today ([link removed]) and your gift will matched, dollar for dollar. Thanks for your support, Peter W. Marty, Editor/Publisher
Dear friend,
In the early days of the pandemic, when we were getting used to pronouncing the word coronavirus and spelling COVID-19 in capital letters, nobody had a clear sense of how long this health and economic crisis would last. We still don’t. Nonprofit organizations of every kind quickly realized, however, that the pandemic’s negative impact on charitable giving would only multiply over time.
The Christian Century now has the chance to turn that negative multiplying effect into a positive. I am sharing with you an extraordinary opportunity to double the impact of a gift you can give. Thanks to two friends of the Christian Century who understand the urgency of turning a corner during an economic crisis, you can multiply your giving times two!
These two Century friends have teamed up to offer a $50,000 challenge match. All gifts received by December 31, 2020, will be matched dollar for dollar, up to the $50,000 challenge total.

Because of the generous giving of other Century readers, we're already halfway to our goal. But we need your gift to help us reach the $50,000 challenge total.

This is a rare opportunity for you to make a hefty impact right in the middle of a pandemic. If you have passed over giving to the Century in the past, please reconsider now. Jump in and make a difference for our future. Our nonprofit ministry of journalism depends on contributions from readers just like you. Twenty-eight percent of our annual expenses rely on such generosity. Subscription and advertising revenue cannot keep pace with the steadily rising costs of the publishing world. This is where you and your joy for the magazine come into play.
Support the Century's journalism and help us reach our $50,0000 challenge goal > ([link removed])
Please respond now. A $50 gift instantly becomes $100. A $500 gift suddenly becomes $1,000. Our friends extending this challenge hope you’ll be a part of answering the call to support first-rate journalism. Your gift today will help the Christian Century continue to speak truthfully and thoughtfully to the biggest spiritual, political, and cultural issues affecting our world.
Thank you in advance for doing everything you can to play a role in this double-your-impact fall campaign. I look forward to your kind response.
Faithfully yours,
Peter W. Marty, Editor/Publisher
The Christian Century
