All of us at the IAS want to express our gratitude to those who donated this past year. The last few years have been particularly hard, as institutional reorganization within the IAS limited our fund-raising capacities, and drained us of crucial funding for radical writers and other projects. We have been happily overwhelmed this year by your response to our fund-raising efforts, through our newsletter, personal visits, Speakers' Bureau, and at NCOR and the RAT conference.

We are pleased to announce that we have raised $7,500 of our $12,000 donations-based fund-raising goal. Nevertheless, there is still some way to go in order to raise our budget to a safe level that can maintain our activities, so if you meant to send in a donation but have not had a chance, it's not too late.
