As you’ve surely noticed, we’re in the middle of our twice-yearly fundraising campaign. We offer all of our content for free, but as the saying goes, it’s not free to produce. We incur costs bringing quality orthodox Catholic commentary to you every day, such as author stipends, website management and hosting, accounting services, and a salary for yours truly.
We take pride that we run on a shoe-string budget around here, far less than most of the other content providers in our space. I don’t have a huge staff (actually, I’m the only full-time employee of Crisis), and we don’t rent out fancy offices or studios (everything is done from my home office, so no rent costs).
Further, we don’t have a single donor or two who payrolls everything (which means we aren’t beholden to such large donors). To give a sense of our donor base, our average donation in the past year is $31, spread across more than 7,500 donors. We truly appreciate every donor, no matter the amount they give.
Orthodox. Faithful. Free.
