🚨 Annual Fundraiser: Exclusive Autographed Items from Our Archives
Dear Supporters of Science, Reason, and Skepticism,
Over 30 years ago, Pat Linse and I founded Skeptic magazine and the Skeptics Society—starting in my garage with a shared mission to promote science, reason, and critical thinking.
Though Pat passed away a few years ago, her legacy lives on in everything we do: our educational work in schools, colleges, and prisons; our media and outreach projects; Skeptic magazine; original research from the Skeptic Research Center; our podcasts; and our upcoming documentary film.
None of this work is possible without supporters like you.
This December, we’re asking for your support.
A donation to the Skeptics Society isn’t just a contribution—it’s an investment in research, education, and evidence-based understanding in an increasingly complex world.
All donations are tax-deductible, so please consider giving before the end of the year.
Special 2025 Early-Supporter Gifts
This year, we’re offering a very limited number of rare archival items as an exclusive thank-you for your support. Available only through the button below:
- Autographed books by James “The Amazing” Randi (who passed away in 2020), Jared Diamond, and Peter Boghossian.
- Early signed copies of Michael Shermer’s forthcoming book Truth (pub date: January 27, 2026, GET IT BEFORE ANYONE ELSE!)
- Limited-edition skeptic-themed playing cards
If you prefer to donate without selecting a gift or if all gifts are already claimed, visit skeptic.com/donate.
“If everyone reading this gave just $1 a year, we could hire an additional full-time staff member and dramatically expand our work.”
Thank you for standing with us in support of science and reason.
With gratitude,
Michael Shermer
Executive Director, The Skeptics Society
and the entire Skeptic team
