THE INTENSE ROLLER COASTER OF FUNDRAISING: We have fantastic supporters. The contributions that we receive from people sending in what they can are something that we deeply value. At the same time there is immense frustration that only 1% of those that visit the site on a monthly basis actually donate. What would it mean if 10% donated? It would mean that we could stop fundraising for the remainder of the year. It would mean that we could expand our coverage of all the important issues that we cover. It would mean that we could pay great writers to come on board and join the project. That's what 10% would mean. It's a quandary; we are blessed but we know what the stakes are every time we launch a funding drive. With your help. / Marc Ash - Founder, Reader Supported News

Sure, I'll make a donation!
