When our fearless, cancellation-defying leader Rich Lowry launched our webathon last week (donate here), we didn’t know what to expect. We have long relied on our readers not just to take in what we publish, but as supporters of our cause.

And you continue to surprise us. Due to your tremendous response thus far, we are announcing a goal of $75,000 — we’re already almost halfway there. If you like what we do, and want to see us keep doing it, consider joining the ranks of those who have already contributed. Giving $500, Stan Craven says, “I spend a lot of time reading most everything at NR and appreciate your efforts.” Well we appreciate you, Stan, and all of our readers. Contributing $1,000, John C. Harvey calls it his “pleasure to support National Review and the conservative agenda.” The pleasure is mutual, John, when we have such faithful readers and generous supporters as you. With a $500 donation, Richard Leveille succinctly implores us to “keep up the good work.” Thanks to readers and supporters such as you, we can, and we will.

We strive to be worthy of your support. So we are grateful that you appreciate, among other things, our commitment to the Constitution, as Rich outlined; our stance against antisemitism, which Phil Klein emphasized; and our overall pursuit of journalistic excellence, which Mark Wright made clear. Mark also made a point which is worth keeping in mind: Unlike the Washington Post, we don’t have a Jeff Bezos to help keep our operations afloat. Which is why we need you. If you are so moved, please give so that we can continue to stand for our principles.
