You may have noticed, you never hit a paywall when you come to our site. That's by design. We keep our journalism and commentary free for all to read because we believe, especially today, that everyone deserves access to fair, thoughtful, inclusive coverage of the world's religions.
As a nonprofit, though, we also depend on the generosity of readers to support our work. Today, far fewer than 1 percent of the 500,000+ people who visit this site in an average month are also donors. But if just a few of the you who read all the way to the bottom of this note decide to join us as supporters, we'd be sure to have the resources to continue, and expand, our journalism.
So if you value this kind of reporting, we ask you to consider making a gift today. Be part of the one percent and help ensure our reporting is always there for those who depend on it.
