Dear Mr Sorbie:

Those of us who read National Review and NRO share a rich inheritance. And we at National Review Institute have the honor and privilege of helping preserve that inheritance passed down by our founder, William F. Buckley Jr.

As a supporter of NRI, you know that over the past two years we have built a journalistic think tank to support the National Review mission. And as part of our recent reorganization (NR Inc. becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of the Institute), NRI has brought on significant portions of the enterprise-including new additional costs which were operational expenses previously borne by the magazine (such as the salaries of some of NR's top talent).

That is why we need your continued support . . . so that we can continue the critical work of the entire NR enterprise. If you give today, your gift will have double the impact. It will be matched by a close friend of NRI who has graciously offered a $500,000 matching gift between now and the end of NRI's fiscal year on July 31, 2016. This means that any tax-deductible contribution you make today will be matched dollar-for-dollar.

[Support NRI]<http://click.email-nrinstitute.org/?qs=590e36572174b2a375bc508b26aff755521066a657f0876f7b42b2d040925d7b3b27365abd4ed712>

As part of this reorganization we also have a number of new, exciting initiatives, including the launch of our Center for the Defense of Western Civilization.

Bill Buckley was keenly aware of the existential threat that radical Islam poses not just to America, but to all of Western civilization. This was of pressing concern for Buckley toward the end of his life. So much so that in October of 2007, at his last National Review editorial-board meeting (held a few short months before his death), with those closest to him and to the magazine gathered in his apartment, he charged them to persistently fight against Islamist terrorism<http://click.email-nrinstitute.org/?qs=590e36572174b2a3bee349e5457e98f899cf135b14bbe52beeb3bc9218d2b476c346e59d570eda93>.

Buckley viewed the threat of radical Islam as akin to the threat of Communism; no less dangerous, no less consequential.

NRI's new Center for the Defense of Western Civilization helps realize Buckley's vision for the NR enterprise. The Center will organize and prioritize the work of NRI fellows Victor Davis Hanson<http://click.email-nrinstitute.org/?qs=590e36572174b2a34beab4bab10f6ff0006bccef815a5bef2593bd894a3b6e9e5199868c0af3570e> and Andrew C. McCarthy<http://click.email-nrinstitute.org/?qs=590e36572174b2a36c267acd6cdfea87b7ec01d88767b9bae5b188bceb4182c83a7a60ce434d7c8c>, who regularly write and speak on this immensely important topic.

Your support today will help spread their vitally important message. Please consider making a tax-deductible donation today.

Our goal is to raise $100,000 toward the matching gift in the month of May. Thank you in advance for your support.

Gratefully,
[lindsaysignature]

P.S. Remember: Because of our matching grant, your gift today will go twice as far in helping us defend Western civilization by supporting the work of NRI fellows such as Victor Davis Hanson and Andrew C. McCarthy. Now is the time to make a tax-deductible gift to National Review Institute-a gift that will have double the impact thanks to a very generous donor.

The National Review Institute was founded by William F. Buckley Jr. in 1991, 36 years after he founded National Review magazine. The Institute is a non-profit, 501(c)(3), charitable organization, established to complement its sister organization, National Review, but engaging in policy development, public education, and advocacy to advance the conservative principles Mr. Buckley championed.
