Now is the Time to Show Your Support for Reason

Its that time again: Reasons yearly webathon, our end-of-year fundraising event. Throughout the year, we provide in-depth investigative reporting, incisive analysis, and thought-provoking commentary on free markets and individual liberty. Much of our content is free, and subscriptions are affordable. So why are we reaching out for donations now?

Reason remains fiercely independent. We dont accept government funding, and our journalism isnt influenced by outside pressures. Your contributions allow us to maintain high-quality reporting on civil liberties, free speech, the rule of law, politics, criminal justice, economics, technology, and more. We also cover entertainment, gaming, movies, and the latest tech innovations.

Producing podcasts, videos, articles, TikToks, and newsletters isnt cheap. Donations help cover expenses like travel, research, books, legal fees, and even coffee for the team. Every contribution ensures we can keep delivering the content you enjoy.

You can donate in U.S. dollars, cryptocurrency, or via PayPalwhatever method suits you. Make a donation here.
