Year-End Appeal: RealClearFoundation Needs Your Support

Like millions of readers, you come to RealClear to see the full picture of America’s public life. Everything that drives and sustains our fractious, yet enduring, democracy can be found across RealClear’s pages.

The RealClearFoundation is a nonprofit organization working in partnership with RealClearPolitics to advance journalistic and educational projects in the public interest that cannot be sustained by ad revenue.

With year-end approaching, I ask that you join our mission by making a donation to help fuel a growing number of initiatives:

• RealClearInvestigations (RCI): The Foundation’s signature initiative, RCI aggregates daily the day’s must-read investigative reporting from across the web. From its vantage point as an aggregator, RCI produces original investigative journalism that fills in gaps in coverage, “including blind spots in media itself,” per founding editor Tom Kuntz. RCI goes where the legacy press is not, breaking news and keeping those in power honest.
• With social media platforms applying seemingly inconsistent standards in the suppression of news reporting on their platforms, RealClear Media Fellow Kalev Leetaru is developing an agenda to bring much-needed transparency to their content-moderation policies.
• In response to the poor state of civic knowledge, and coinciding with the widespread embrace of online learning, the Foundation has launched a project on American Civics. Its centerpiece is an online library, available on RealClearEducation and RealClearHistory, that brings together the best videos, primary sources, curricula, podcasts, interpretive essays, and more on America’s history and founding principles.
• RealClearWire, a nonprofit syndication service, provides original reporting, commentary, and analysis to news outlets across the country for republication.

I know that there are many good causes competing for your attention and resources at this time of year. But when it comes to efforts focused on strengthening American democracy, few organizations can match the reach of RealClearFoundation. Through our partnership with RealClearPolitics and the launch of RealClearWire, content underwritten by the Foundation is seen by the movers and shakers of public life and goes deep into America’s grassroots.

RealClearFoundation’s programs are as civically inspired as the supporters who make them possible. Please join this growing community of donors today.
