In April, we were thrilled to receive a heartfelt message from our reader, Art_DogCT. His story is a touching reminder of generosity and community spirit:
Last year, I learned about the passing of a cousin, and a few months later, I found out that I was an heir to a portion of his estate. The property was sold, and my share turned out to be a significant cash windfall for me. I rely solely on Social Security benefits to meet my needs and have no major projects or urgent expenses. Given that I expect to live long enough to invest wisely, I decided to share this windfall with the people, businesses, and organizations I care about.
One of the most meaningful organizations to me is Naked Capitalism, so I wanted to see it benefit from part of my unexpected fortune. I would love to hear your thoughts!
Art_DogCT has generously proposed to use his $5,000 gift to support a Double Your Donation challenge. We are absolutely thrilled to accept his offer. It is both humbling and an honor to know that he is choosing to share his good fortune with deserving causes, ranking this community high on his list.
He will match the next 50 donations of $100 (and multiples thereof) up to the total amount. Let’s make this fantastic initiative a quick success by visiting our donation page now!
We also wanted to share some messages of appreciation from our readers. From Deborah S:
Yves, you and your team are my primary and often sole trusted source of news.
I extend my heartfelt thanks to all of you from the bottom of my Canadian (and ex-Yank) heart!
From Keith C, inspired by Art_DogCT’s generosity:
That’s $200 from me and $50 from someone who wishes to contribute but cannot.
From Roy P:
I read Naked Capitalism every day and contribute what I can. It remains one of the few reliable sources of truth that I have followed for decades. Please donate whatever you can, but do contribute something!
From Keith H:
The check is for $250 this time. Naked Capitalism is absolutely essential. May it continue to thrive!
Readers have also expressed their admiration for the insightful contributions of individual writers. For example, Balakirev shares:
Fascinating statistics. Thank you, Curro Jimenez. I greatly appreciate how you utilize the posed questions to reach nuanced conclusions.
You can contribute here, via check, debit or credit card, or PayPal, as well as Clover or Wise. If you choose to donate by check (which we genuinely appreciate!), please drop us an email at yves@nakedcapitalism.com with “Dynamic Duo Donation Challenge” in the subject line.
We are immensely grateful to Art_DogCT for his kindness and hope that our readers will respond generously.
If a donation of $100 feels like a stretch for you, don’t hesitate to make a donation if you’ve been meaning to but haven’t had the chance yet. Every contribution aids us in reaching our goals. Additionally, sharing our work with friends, family, and colleagues, whether in person or on social media, is equally important. We hope you will take part in this fundraiser challenge in any way that you can!
