Keep CounterVortex alive with a year-end donation

countervortex

We at CounterVortex understand that we have a niche audience. Our ultra-dissident perspective as well as the fact the we cover “obscure” wars, conflicts and social struggles outside the media spotlight, means that we will never have a mass readership that can raise thousands of dollars (as do our frankly rival websites that successfully play to the crowd). We accept this, and indeed wear it as a badge of pride. But we need to know that we have, at least, a small and dedicated readership that can raise hundreds of dollars once a year. Our modest goal for our year-end fund-drive is just $500—less than half of our annual operating costs (web-hosting, domain registration, site maintenance & development, etc). With multiple crises now converging—preparations for a domestic coup d’etat, war moves against Iran, the political weaponizing of a pandemic—the world situation is actually far more desperate now than when we first launched our website, long ago, in the immediate aftermath of 9-11. We are convinced that our voice, marginal as it may be, is at this moment more imperative than ever. We need your support. Please come through for us.

  1. Winter fund-drive goal met!

    Thanks to a $65 donation from the Marxist-Humanist Initiative in New York City, we have reached our winter fund-drive goal of $500! A big “thank you” to all our supporters!

    However, as we have stressed, this is still less than half of our annual operating expenses (web-hosting, domain registration, site maintenance & development, etc). So we do need donations year-round to sustain this 20-year project. So… Who’s next?

  2. Winter fund-drive goal exceeded!

    A reader in Oakland, Calif, has just donated $50 to help keep CounterVortex alive. So we have exceeded our modest winter fund-drive goal of $500!

    However, as we have stressed, even $550 is still less than half of our annual operating expenses (web-hosting, domain registration, site maintenance & development, etc). So we do need donations year-round to sustain this 20-year project. So… Who’s next?

  3. Summer fund-drive off to a good start

    Two readers, one in Manhattan and the other Portland, Maine, have donated a combined total of $70 to sustain the work of CounterVortex. Can we break at least $100 (a small fraction of our annual operating costs)? Who’s next?

  4. Summer fund-drive advances

    A reader in Oakland, Calif., just donated $25 to sustain the work of CounterVortex. This means we just have five dollars to reach our summer fund drive goal of $100 (a small fraction of our annual operating costs). Who’s next?

  5. Summer fund-drive advances again

    A reader in South Orange, NJ, just donated $50 to sustain the work of CounterVortex. This means we have exceeded our summer fund drive goal of $100 by $45. But that’s still a small fraction of our annual operating costs. Let’s keep it going. Who’s next?

  6. Summer fund-drive advances again

    A reader in Redway, Calif., just donated $10 to sustain the work of CounterVortex. This means we have exceeded our summer fund drive goal of $100 by $55. But that’s still a small fraction of our annual operating costs. Let’s keep it going. Who’s next?
