Current Gift Options

Our work is supported in two ways

You are welcome to support either. Gifts to both are deeply appreciated; they simply follow different tax rules.

The Nation

Our charitable fund for aspiring journalists

A qualified charitable organization. Gifts are generally eligible for charitable tax benefits, subject to your personal situation.

Many donors choose to support both! When you support The Nation, you're supporting our work today. When you support The Nation Fund, you help train and support the next generation of journalists.
