Only a bit over five hours are left in the Naked Capitalism fundraiser. Show your support of sharp analysis, relentless pursuit of captured officials and lame pundits, demystifying finance, exposing looting, lively phrasemaking, and cute animal pictures.

In the last three hours, we’ve gotten 26 more donations, putting us at 1830 donors, so we’ve now comfortably beaten our donor target! But more important, we are just a hair’s breadth below our dollar target. We’re at $44,845 versus our final target of $45,000. We are assured of hitting that target if just a few more of you contribute. Will you be one of them?

We’re on the verge of having met our donor and dollar targets! Help assure this success. Please go to the Tip Jar now to contribute.

Every dollar you give now helps fund more original reporting. And when you look at our budget compared to that of mainstream media newsrooms, Naked Capitalism delivers on a remarkably lean resources.

Your contributions make a tangible difference here in a way they do at few other places. So please give whatever you can, since any donations, $10, $100, or $1000, is an investment in helping us do what we can to understand and influence the dramatic shifts happening in the economic and political realm.

And donors continue to send notes that express their enthusiasm for what you readers have helped build, a real community.

Mark:

Okay! 🙂 Donation complete!

I’m a long time lurker and I’m stingy with my cash. (And to be fair I am currently living in a garage! Long story, not as destitute as it sounds though.)

I’ve been following coverage on Naked Capitalism since early to mid 2007. I can’t remember how I stumbled to here but it has been a mainstay ever since. I owe this blog more than I have paid, I’ll endeavor to donate more in the future.

I have yet to find a single other blog that comes close to the quality I find here.

EGrise:

I did my part!

Keith H:

Sincere thanks for your tremendously valuable work.

And Brad B:

Journalism at its finest! Thanks to all of you for your efforts.

Join us and participate via our Tip Jar, which tells you how to give by check, credit or debit card (be sure to send us a message, “Check is in the mail” with the dollar total in the message body so we can count your donation in the fundraiser total).

With our deadline of midnight PDT (3:00 AM EDT) we can still make it if those of you who haven’t had time yet chip in, and those who’ve given earlier make an additional donation on behalf of those that are suffering financial hardships. If you can give a little, give a little. If you can give more, give more. If you can give a lot, give a lot. You are investing in making a difference and in making the next year the best one ever for this community. And thanks again for your generosity!
