It makes the world go ’round…

Contibutor's CertificateWell,

we'll certainly be

celebrating this 4th of July. But it doesn't look like we'll be high-fiving

and declaring success on our June fundraising campaign.  We didn't naively expect

that a slap-dash "send money" blog post would solve all our ills.  But we were

briefly teased by a strong start, a few $500 contributions, and a $1000 day early

on.  Reality sets in – we’ve had a few $10 average/day doldrums, and we are plodding inexorably

toward coming in at <20% of goal. Thanks very much to those of you have supported us at any level. Are there more of you?

If you value Small Wars Journal and are in a position to help us out financially,

please do so now via all those convenient 21st century ways to throw money at us.

Also see our Support page

for other ways to help.

So we've got some fundraising work ahead of us, and it is time and resource consuming

work that draws away from content work, but we will press on. Strong public support

is a nice thing to be able to point to as we drive forward on corporate, grant,

and foundation support — all of which is in the game plan. We had hoped to dive

into that with a bigger feather in our cap by being able to point to a broad public

support base on top of all the technical and content work we'll consummate ASAP. 

Please don't discount the value, in both $$ and solidarity, of your small contributions.

to support Small Wars Journal.

Please note:  we aren't very efficiently automated, so we produce the

$upporter$ certificates every week or two in a batch. We will turn to on Author's Certificates soon-ish, too, remedially back to 2005.
