Thanks to the support of many loyal readers, we are getting closer to our goal. With 1,359 donations, we are approaching our new goal of 1,500 donations. And with $1,955, we’re on track to our original reported final fundraising goal of $45,000.
We know from experience that many of you are busy and like to meet tight deadlines. For your last chance to fundraise in 2025, invest in the Naked Capitalism community through our donation page.
There’s still time for a final push. We have yet to achieve both major goals. > Our average donation amount is higher than last year (hooray!), but the number of donations is down. We believe this is a combination of some budget pressures due to inflation and a loss of readers due to unsympathetic reporting on the Gaza war.
If you’re hooked on our daily super-sized links, Conner’s global coverage of current and pressing issues and the impact of US-class wars, Nick’s focus on digital currencies and Latin America, KLG’s reveal that it’s not exactly science, Haig’s on the many ugly but effective (in admittedly disastrous terms) operations of the military machine, Nat’s on the collapse of US politics, the recklessness of the Democratic Party, and the machinations of tech moguls, Curro’s on the big picture For questions about world order, like the future of Europe’s social compact and Trump’s invasion of Latin America as a template, or Eve’s take on the slow-motion decline of the West as illustrated by Semper Lokiteur’s popular Sunday movies, wars in Ukraine, Gaza, and Iran, increasingly unstable markets and economies, and adorable creatures, head straight to the Tip Jar. Dig deep to see how this feisty company continues to punch above its weight!
Please take a few minutes to visit our fundraising page and join us for another year of incisive analysis, provocative and often witty discussions, and daily photos of the Healing Beast.
Remember, all donations go to the original report. The fundraiser ends tonight at midnight PDT.

We would like to express our deepest gratitude for the many donations we have received, as well as for the warm feedback from our readers. From Pete W:
Dear Eve Smith and everyone at Naked Capitalism. I sent you a check for $50 yesterday. I wish there were more. Thank you for your efforts.
And Doug K:
I sent you a check for $1,000. I’d like to remember how I encountered naked capitalism, but that was many years ago. I can’t think of anything to add to the praise I’ve already received, so I’d like to keep it short and thank you all for your hard work.
And Pete:
Crazy times!
Thank you for your daily dose of sanity.
And Chris L:
I’ve been a reader here for almost 10 years now, and as someone who clings to the remnants of civil servants in the public sector (the state, but the blue “inside the state” enemy), I can lend a hand.
Preciously, this is consistently not bullshit useful information. As we return to the information age disrupted by hallucinatory AI, it really makes sense to have a mooring between the real world and what’s important. Even with staff turnover, quality, continuity, and focus never wavered.
The 2025 fundraising campaign is coming to a close. Our fundraising page allows you to donate using your credit card, debit card, or PayPal account (billing will be in Aurora Advisors’ name).
You can also send a check (we love checks!) in the name of Aurora Advisors Incorporated to:
Aurora Advisors Co., Ltd.
P.O. Box 110105
Brooklyn, NY 11211-0105
To have your donation included in your donation total, please send an email to yves@nakedcapitalism.com with the heading “Check is in the mail” (and include the $ in transit in your message).
Please support naked capitalism now. Whatever you can give, whether it’s $10, $100, or $1,000, helps us all keep this community vibrant. This is more than just a donation. You are making a statement that you want a different discussion, a different society, a different culture. It’s time to join us in helping this site better mobilize our energies to correct the lies that prop up a sick power structure and promote a more just social order.
