As some of our most dedicated readers, you engage with our work consistently, and the powerful ways that you support journalism can have an unexpected and impressive impact. I am grateful that you choose The Times as your news destination, and I often think of you all as part of a community. Around this time of year, many Americans ask how we can give back. I hope that you consider including, among the many worthy causes you give to this year, the longstanding reader-supported organization now called [The New York Times Communities Fund](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRnRI1iP4QMAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm55dGNvbW11bml0aWVzZnVuZC5vcmcvP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTM5JmVtYz1lZGl0X3R5XzIwMjMxMTI1Jmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTEwODU5MCZubD1vcGluaW9uLXRvZGF5JnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD0xNTA5NTkmdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3JnV0bV9jYW1wYWlnbj0yMDIzJnV0bV9jb250ZW50PUNGJnV0bV9tZWRpdW09bnl0d2Vic2l0ZSZ1dG1fc291cmNlPXByZXNzX3JlbGVhc2VXA255dEIKZV9iCGJlfiJxdVIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAD). Established in 1911 as The Neediest Cases Fund, it was the first program of its kind, using journalism to encourage readers to help their neighbors and to offer them a direct way to do so. This is the 112th annual campaign, and I’m proud to say that the mission of the fund is unchanged. This new name is meant to reflect a program that has evolved and become more global in its scope. It assists 10 nonprofits as they work to provide direct support to people and communities facing hardship. Thanks to contributions from readers, the fund has raised more than $330 million since it began. Reporting on The Times Communities Fund and the causes it supports will now be found in the Opinion section, as you’ll see on the site and in our print pages over the coming weeks.
