Dear Reader,

Two days ago, two of our Editor’s Circle members issued a challenge: Can the FIRST THINGS community come together to give $30,000 from December 19-21?
 
Behind this challenge was a pledge. If we can raise $30,000 across these three days, these two donors will match your gifts dollar-for-dollar.
 
Since issuing this challenge, 75 of you have come together to give $13,791, putting us within $16,209 of the full $30,000 match.
 
We need your support to unlock what's left of the matching challenge gift. Give today to amplify our voice of religious truth in a secularizing public square with double the impact!

As a reader of FIRST THINGS, you recognize the critical role that we play in advancing thoughtful religious perspectives on issues at the heart of faith and public life. With your gift matched dollar-for-dollar, there has never been a better time to make your first gift to FIRST THINGS.
 
Join the 686 readers and counting who have made their first gift this year by giving today. Your gift of any size will help us unlock the full $30,000 matching gift!

Yours,

R. R. Reno
Editor

P.S. Remember: The impact of your tax-deductible gift is doubled if you make it today. Give today!
