If we raise $40,000 by December 31, 2012 a generous donor will match it! Thanks to your generosity we have reached over 75% of our fundraising target. But with less than a day to go we are still about $10,000 short of our goal. This will be the last chance to receive a 2012 charitable receipt for your donation to the Centre for Inquiry. Please make your New Year's Resolution to support Science and Secularism and help us ensure we have the financial resources to combat religious intolerance, dangerous pseudoscience, and attempts to undermine the secular and scientific values that have built our society. Over the last couple of months we've shared stories about defending LGTBQ rights, participating in a multimillion dollar consumer protection lawsuit related to the selling of ineffective homeopathy, and providing world class educational conferences. But there's so much else. CFI is also active on campuses across Canada, provides humanists a regular voice in the mainstream media, and hosts skepticism-focused Think Again! TV. We need to work together now to confront some tough challenges. Did you know religious charities receive over 2.5 times more in donations than all educational charities combined? Meanwhile, small religions pull in a lot more funds than do atheist and humanist non-profits, considering the population they represent Religion/Community Donations (2007) Population Represented (2001 Census) Baha'is $13.6M 0.06% Buddhist $18.7 1.0% Judaism $103.9 1.1% Islam $48.1 2.0% Sikh $19.3 0.9% Atheists and Agnostics Under $0.5M 23% (average), 36% (under 25 years old) * Harris-Decima Survey, 2008 We're seeking ultimately to provide communities and a voice for 25% of canadians with a budget of less than 2%! The Centre for Inquiry is a unique organization. We're audited annually and contain very little bureaucracy so the effectiveness of your contribution is maximized. Please support our important work by making a one-time donation in any amount or by contacting us to setup a regular monthly pledge. Thank you
