This one neat trick will make fundraising emails stop

Every day, The Intercept produces hard-hitting investigative journalism that the corporate media never will. But there’s never been a more difficult time for independent news, and The Intercept’s nonprofit newsroom urgently needs an infusion of financial support to power our journalism.

To meet that need, we’ve set a goal of raising $400,000 by September 30 — and fair warning, that means we’ll be sending a LOT of fundraising emails over the next couple weeks.

Now, we understand that no one reads The Intercept for our fundraising emails. In fact, some of you probably find emails like this pretty annoying.

So we’re going to let you in on a little secret: If you donate right now, the email address you enter with your donation will be automatically excluded from the rest of our fundraising campaign.

That’s right. You can help power The Intercept’s high-impact investigative reporting and avoid the deluge of fundraising appeals. It’s as if the public radio pledge drive ended the moment you called to make your donation. Pretty good deal, right?

If you love journalism but hate fundraising emails, make a donation to The Intercept right now, and we won’t send you any more emails like this for the rest of the campaign.
