I have been blogging at Challies.com on a daily basis for well over 20 years now. That long commitment has allowed me to write thousands of articles and hundreds of book reviews while also sending millions of visitors to other sites through the daily A La Carte feature. While I’ve also written a number of books, through it all the blog has remained the “main thing.” Much of the blog’s content is now also translated into Spanish, French, and a number of other languages.
One of my great desires has always been to freely give away as much as possible. I intend for it to always remain entirely free for all who visit. While for obvious reasons this can’t happen when it comes to books, I’ve made it my goal to ensure that everything else has been freely and widely distributed. While this has been possible largely because of advertisers, there is also a key role for the generosity of individuals.
This is where patrons come in—patrons like you.
There are a couple of different options for you to consider. The first is recurring monthly gifts. A service called Patreon provides a convenient means of linking content producers (like me) with ongoing supporters (like you). You can learn more and sign up at Patreon.com/challies.
The second is one-time gifts. If that is of interest to you, they can be made electronically via PayPal.
Under normal circumstances, gifts can also be forwarded by check to the mailing address below, but because Canada’s postal service is currently on strike, you may need to prioritize the other means of giving as most post offices are not accepting Canada-bound mail at the moment. Alternatively, just set the envelope aside and mail it in a week or two when that labor dispute is (hopefully) sorted out.

Funds donated will be used to support my family and to help create great content or to otherwise improve, support, and enhance Challies.com. In one way or another, they will all be used to allow me to continue to do what I have been doing for these past 20+ years.
Please understand that I intend for Challies.com to always remain entirely free. In fact, patrons help ensure that it always remains that way.
Thank you for considering becoming a patron of Challies.com. Your support means so much to me. And this is the end of my once-yearly mention of this subject!
