I was caught up in getting ready for National Review Institute’s Ideas Summit last week, and so I didn’t manage to complete a March Madness bracket this year. It’s too bad, because my strategy is typically to pick favorites to win in the first several rounds, and this year that would have left me in prime position. But I’m sure that there are many among our multi-talented National Review readership who are crushing their office pools. And for those looking for a great way to reinvest their winnings, have I got an idea for you.

You may have heard from Rich already that we have launched a spring webathon today, and I am now adding to his voice in the hope that everybody who enjoys our publication — especially those college basketball experts soon to be flush with cash — will consider helping us out. 

As Rich observed, at a time when it can often be hard to keep up with the pace of news, we have got you covered with incisive reporting and analysis that applies time-tested conservative principles to our modern age. 

We are so appreciative to our loyal subscribers (if you are not already one, you can sign up for the introductory price of just $1 per week here). But subscriptions and ad sales do not cover the full cost of bringing you all our great journalism, which is why we periodically ask for your help.

If there is any amount that you could spare — $5, $25, $100, $5,000, whatever — we would be immensely grateful for your support.
