The best thing about the end of the year? The end of end-of-year fundraisers. But we’ve got a good reason to ask for your help right now: a $2,500 matching grant from a generous supporter!

That means any donations — which help us bring you the reviews, Q&As, columns, and fun stuff you expect from the nonprofit Independent — received in the next few days will be matched up to $2,500!

Click HERE to make your tax-deductible donation. It’s quick, easy, and a wonderful way to ring out a less-than-wonderful year! (And to show our thanks, we’ll send you a little bookish surprise…)
