This Giving Tuesday, Help Keep Consumerist Independent (And Get Free Stuff For Donating)

When you came to Consumerist today, did you have to wait for 14 different banner ads to load, or hurriedly click around to mute an auto-play video? Likewise, you didn’t have to scroll past any “sponsored stories” bought and paid for by the companies we’re supposed to hold accountable. That’s because Consumerist does not accept advertising in any form. You can help keep it that way — and score some free stuff — with a tax-deductible donation this Giving Tuesday.

2015 was an amazing year for us. Thanks to the support of our readers, we are producing more of our important, original content than ever before. Our independent, non-partisan journalism was cited in testimony before Congress and by lawmakers. Our twice-weekly newsletter is growing. We shattered our all-time monthly traffic record. The Consumer Federation of California named our team “Journalist of the Year.”

If you want to help, simply click here for more information about how you can make a tax-deductible donation to Consumerist.

Those who donate $50 or more will receive a one-year subscription to Consumer Reports magazine, the Annual Buying Guide, and access to the iPad edition. If you’re already a Consumer Reports magazine subscriber, your subscription will be extended by one year.

The full amount of your donation will be used to support Consumerist.

Every little bit helps our small team do more to give consumers an independent voice.

Thank you again for being such loyal and supportive friends. We’re counting on you, because we’re not counting on advertising.
