Dappled Things on Red Alert

Bernardo Aparicio García

Dear Friends,

Three weeks ago, our yearly fundraising campaign got off to its most promising start ever, raising about $1,000 on the first day. Perhaps this great start, complete with a nice new promotional video, led people to believe that the response would be enough to meet the journal’s needs, but unfortunately the incoming stream of support has dried up at only $1,305, which only gets us 13% of the way towards our goal and puts our future in serious jeopardy.

Like most other magazines, Dappled Things cannot meet its expenses simply from subscriptions revenue, and given our small size, ad money is not enough to make up the difference. To meet our fundraising goal ($10,000), we usually count both on many small donations, as well as on 20 or so individuals who can donate at a levels of $250, $500, $1,000, or more. We have waited in hope that these donations are on the way, but after three weeks we have only received a single one at this level. We are therefore sounding the alarm, asking all those who value our work to give as they are able.

Please don’t think that all we need is large donors. If only half our Facebook followers donated $10, we’d be home safe.

Don’t let this be a stillborn renaissance. Support Dappled Things today.

Sincerely in Christ,

Bernardo Aparicio García

President, Dappled Things
