Help Us Raise $25,000 for Our Story Fund by November 16
Contribute:
Fund new reporting and storytelling projects from writers, photographers, and illustrators around the world — and you’ll get exclusive perks like ad-free reading.
During our 2017 Longreads Member Drive, our goal is to raise $25,000 for new stories. For every dollar you give, WordPress.com will generously match with $3. This means that by raising $25,000 from readers we have the potential to add another $100,000 to our story fund.
Fund New Reporting and Storytelling Projects
We have reporters working on new investigative projects that explore the role of toy guns in recent police shootings, the ways communities across the U.S. are being poisoned by industrial waste, a series on human trafficking and migration in Mexico and Central America, and more.

Get a Longreads Tote Bag
Even better than a membership badge, because it securely carries important items, including but not limited to: three bottles of wine for your "book club" meeting, 25 copies of Strunk & White, or a large bunny (or two medium-size kittens). Contribute $50 or more, and it's yours.
Quality writing and in-depth journalism can't survive when there's nobody around to support it. Ensure that we can continue our work by becoming a member today.
