Do you enjoy reading our reasoned and reflective essays at The Imaginative Conservative, as we pursue the Good, the True, and the Beautiful? Do you enjoy engaging in discussions of culture, history, politics, and economics, in the tradition of Russell Kirk, Edmund Burke, Richard Weaver, Eric Voegelin, Christopher Dawson, and other leaders of Imaginative Conservatism? Do you believe that the American Republic will only remain free if our people are educated and virtuous? If so, we would be appreciative if you would support us in one or more of these four ways.

1. Donate!

Though our journal is free to our readers—and advertisement-free, unlike most conservative journals—it is not free to produce. You can make a contribution today by clicking here, or on the button below, or by mailing a check to us at 9600 Long Point Rd., Suite 300, Houston, TX, 77055. The Imaginative Conservative is sponsored by The Free Enterprise Institute. Your donation to the Institute in support of The Imaginative Conservative is tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.

3. Like, Follow, Comment on, and Share The Imaginative Conservative on Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn.

Please like, comment on, and share The Imaginative Conservative’s Facebook page. Due to Facebook’s algorithms, simply liking us does not ensure you will see all our posts. To ensure you never miss an essay, after liking our page, please click on “Following” on our page and select “See First” in the pull-down menu. The more you like essays, share, and comment on them, the more they will appear in people’s news feeds, and the more we may “redeem the time,” in the words of T.S. Eliot.

If you prefer other forms of social media, that’s great! You can easily follow us on Twitter and LinkedIn. As always, the more you favorite and share our essays, the more fruitful our work becomes.

4. Tell Your Friends

Word of mouth is the most powerful way to spread a message. Tell your friends about us and discuss our essays with them over your morning latte or your evening gin-and-tonic. If you are a teacher, consider printing our essays for use in the classroom. If you are a student, encourage your fellow students to grow in their knowledge of the conservative tradition.

We appreciate your support and your enthusiasm in preserving and spreading a conservatism of hope and  joy!
