Let’s be honest. Fundraising emails can be annoying. We don’t like sending them, and you probably don’t like getting them.
But as a nonprofit news outlet, The Intercept relies on member donations, and we just kicked off our September membership campaign with a goal of raising $500,000 by the end of the month.
You know what that means. Over the next week or so, we’re going to be sending out quite a few emails — and that could get pretty irritating.
So today, before we really get going, we wanted to offer you a chance to avoid all those pesky reminders.
If you’ve saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:
The Intercept’s mission is to expose corruption and injustice wherever we find it through deep-dive investigative reporting and analysis.
We don’t chase clicks with hot takes. We don’t hide our reporting behind a paywall. And we don’t have a corporate boss telling us what to cover.
That’s what makes us different from so many other news outlets. But in order for this model to be sustainable, we rely on readers to chip in whatever you can afford. That’s why these periodic fundraising campaigns are so crucial, and why we need to hit our goal, even if it means asking again and again and again.
So instead of waiting until the end of the campaign to donate while your inbox is flooded with reminders and follow-ups, we have a better idea.
Donate now, and you won’t get another fundraising email for the rest of this campaign.
