Dear Reader, :

As I trust you know by now, the theme of our 2022 Spring Campaign was “friendship.”

It’s proven apt. Our recent campaign has affirmed that First Things does indeed foster true friendships. On behalf of my colleagues at First Things, I write to thank you for your generosity. We have been moved by the outpouring of support from readers like you as we seek to grow First Things in reach and influence at a critical cultural moment.

We are delighted to report that this year’s spring campaign exceeded its $600,000 goal, reaching $626,000 in charitable gifts. Thank you to the more than one thousand readers who gave generously toward our ambitious goal. 

I hope you’ll join us in celebrating this wonderful conclusion to our 2022 Spring Campaign. Thank you again for making it possible.

Sincerely, 

R. R. Reno
Editor
