We are in the middle of our
2015 Winter Matching Fundraiser!

 
Donate before January 31, 2016 and every two dollars of your contribution will be matched with a third dollar by one of our generous backers. We’d also like to invite you to pick out your own thank-you gift:
 
BRONZE Circle: Donations of $100 or more (or at least $9 monthly)
Your choice out of three CFAR-made rationalist/humanist/worldsaving posters.
 
SILVER Circle: Donations of $1,500 or more (or at least $125 monthly)

  • Your choice of one of our new posters, AND
  • A one-year subscription to your choice of Beeminder or Complice, two excellent goal-achieving aids, including one hour of coaching from the founders (CFAR alumni Daniel Reeves and Bethany Soule, for Beeminder, and CFAR alumnus Malcolm Ocean, for Complice) to make sure all your goals are dialed in, and to make your progress as effortless and automatic as possible.

 
GOLD Circle: Donations of $5000 or more (or at least $415 monthly)
Your name will go up permanently on our Wall of Donors! Also:

  • Prizes from the BRONZE and SILVER Circles

  • A stylish and efficient Bellroy wallet, designed and produced by CFAR alumnus Andrew Fallshaw

Your name will go up permanently on our Wall of Donors! Also:

  • Dinner on us. We’ll take you out someplace swanky, in either the Bay Area or the NYC area, to talk about rationality (or anything else you like).
  • BONUS PRIZE: If we receive at least five $10,000 donations (or at least one $50,000 donation), contributors in the Platinum Circles will also receive a signed first-edition printing of Rationality: From AI to Zombies.
