Let’s cut to the chase: In order to keep The Intercept’s newsroom operating at full strength going forward, we need to add at least 4,000 new monthly donors by March 31. That means we will be sending quite a few more fundraising emails than usual in the days ahead.

Now, we understand that these emails can be annoying. Surely, no one reads The Intercept for our fundraising emails.

So we want to let you in on a little secret: If you become a monthly donor, we will automatically remove the email address associated with your donation for the rest of the campaign — and you’ll be automatically excluded from the vast majority of our fundraising emails for as long as you remain a monthly donor.

What could be better? You can support great independent journalism and give your inbox a break from the endless flood of fundraising appeals at the same time. Just click here to become a monthly donor to The Intercept right now.

Becoming a monthly donor is the best way you can help ensure our continued success. You can give any amount — even $5 or $10 donations really add up — and cancel anytime.

But make no mistake: Our spring fundraising deadline is real. Without this new influx of monthly donors, we simply won’t have the funds we need to keep digging for the truth the way you, our readers, expect.

So if you want to support The Intercept but would rather avoid the deluge of fundraising requests as we approach this key deadline, this is the moment to act.

Click here to become a monthly donor to The Intercept, and we’ll make sure this is the last email you receive as part of our spring fundraising campaign.
