D&S 50th Anniversary National Fundraiser

UPDATE: We're excited to announce that all donations up to $50,000 before the end of the year will be matched two to one. That means that for every $1 we raise with your help, we'll raise another $2 from a generous supporter. That means we could raise up to $150,000 if we meet our goal. Will you help us get there?

WHERE WE STARTED, WHERE WE'RE GOING

Since 1974, Dollars & Sense has been a nonprofit, non-hierarchical, collectively-run project to demystify economics for regular people, activists and organizers, workers, and students. We've brought a critical eye to the big economic questions and the reigning theories of the day. We cover issues ignored by the mainstream media and empower people to think about alternatives to capitalism.

With the support of an amazing community and our democratically-managed staff, we've kept true to our founding mission for 50 years. Now is the time for us to get ready for the next 50 years. With your help, we're hoping to raise $50,000 which will help us make 2025 a big new growth year. With renewed financial support from our D&S community, our plans for 2025 and beyond include:

1. Introducing D&S to a new generation of young activists and students. In the 1970s and 1980s, our project was a vital tool for many of us in the D&S community. With renewed effort, we can play that same role for a new generation who are interested in learning about  people-centered economics. More resources means we'll be able to put more time into strengthening D&S's social media presence and reaching out to young activists at conferences and gatherings. It will also help us fund a new "solidarity subscription" program to give young people with limited funds free subscriptions to D&S.

2. Continue the transition to our brand-new website. In 2025, we'll be building out the site and adding new multimedia content.

3. We went out on a limb this year to increase our support for freelance writers, visual artists and photographers, and our staff. As a worker-centered and worker-run project, we know the importance of making sure all workers, including writers and editors, are paid a living wage and benefits. We pay a fair rate for work, but we need help to keep that going.

At 50 years old, Dollars & Sense has a wealth of experience to give to the new movements bubbling up all across the United States. From a revived labor movement to new experiments in worker cooperatives and solidarity economies, the fight back against the Age of Inequality is on. Help us make sure D&S is part of that fight for another 50 years!
