From one point of view, a cause célèbre is something controversial. From another, a cause célèbre is something people rally behind: an organization, person, or idea given more support and attention. That last is the kind of cause célèbre A Way with Words would like to be!

DONATE NOW

“Cause célèbre” literally comes from the French “famous case.” Here’s why you we’d like you to make us your famous case:


We’re a tiny operation competing with big multimedia organizations. Just four staff run a show with an international audience. 


When you support A Way with Words, it’s like you’re in our meetings with us. You’re helping reach the ears, hearts, and minds of your fellow listeners. You’re helping them hear more of what you like, what you want, and what you appreciate.


You’re joining a community of supporters who donate, who recommend the show to friends, family, and their local radio stations, and who send messages with notes, ideas, stories, thoughts, questions, and more.


You’re joining a community that includes our volunteer board of directors, made of people who stepped up to help run our tiny nonprofit. This year, they’ve pooled together a $10,000 matching grant!


For every dollar you donate through December 31, our volunteer board of directors will match your gift with another dollar, up to $10,000. 


Help keep what you want in the world. Support A Way with Words with a donation today and double your gift. Then:


  • See if your employer will match your donation. It’s easy to do!
  • Recommend the show to friends and family.
  • Forward the newsletter to others.
  • Subscribe to the podcast.


Best wishes, Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanzaa, and the best of the season to all.


Thanks for listening!


❤️❤️❤️
