HELP ZENIT
ZENIT's readers have an indispensable role in the support and growth of the news agency, through their donations and participation in subscription campaigns.
As can be seen in the annual budget, donations cover 90% of annual costs.
The remaining 10% is covered with reprint permissions and the sale of advertising.
The numerous testimonies that we receive from around the world motivate us to continue investing our efforts in this work, and maintaining the policy of free subscriptions for the personal use of ZENIT.
All of ZENIT's activity and its development depends on the generosity of those readers who can offer their support.
Those who benefit from this generosity include hundreds of thousands of missionaries and people who live in situations with few resources, people who would never be able to pay for a subscription.
The launch of the Arabic edition and the complete renovation of our Web site are the most significant of the recent projects that we have been able to achieve.
But there are many other projects we would like to undertake to broaden and better our services. We can undertake these projects if we have the necessary resources.
At the same time, an increase in ZENIT's subscribers depends on our readers.
Who could be a better promoter of ZENIT than someone who knows firsthand about its services and appreciates them?
We invite each reader to consider himself a committed member of the "ZENIT family" and lend the support he can.
Help can be offered in many ways, not just with economic support.
We suggest a few of those ways:
-- Many times, testimonies have motivated potential readers to subscribe to ZENIT and current readers to support ZENIT. Testimonies are often the best way to show the fruits that God is giving through ZENIT. Don't hesitate to send a testimony of how ZENIT has helped you.
-- You can promote ZENIT by resending our news service to your friends and recommending this site or by giving ZENIT subscriptions to those people you think might be interested.
-- If you are an active member of a parish, organization, community or movement, you can share with them ZENIT's services.
-- Many times, we receive news and press releases that are of great interest to ZENIT readers. We are open to receiving your informative material and considering it for publishing in our news service.
-- Often we receive ideas and suggestions from our readers that are extremely helpful in our efforts to improve the quality of our services and the efficiency of our promotion.
-- Many institutions and people could offer significant support for an initiative like ZENIT. If you know of a person or institution that might be interested in supporting evangelization in the media, propose to them that they help with sustaining ZENIT, or put them in contact with us directly.
-- For seven consecutive years, reader donations have allowed us to operate in the black and to greatly expand our subscriber lists. This has been the direct consequence of the generosity of thousands of readers who have sent donations and introduced ZENIT's services to others. But THAT IS NOT ALL. Those who have contributed their prayers have also helped ZENIT in a decisive way.
Whether or not you can help ZENIT financially, remember that your prayers are important for ZENIT.
So, to form a part of and participate in the "ZENIT family":
-- send a donation according to your possibilities
-- send your testimony about how ZENIT has been useful for you. (By sending your testimony, you give implicit authorization for its publication, including your name. If you do not wish for your name to be published, please explicitly state that when sending your testimony.)
-- promote ZENIT, recommending this site and giving an e-mail subscription. Spread the word to your family, friends and acquaintances
-- send news or press releases that we can consider for publication in our news service
-- send your ideas and suggestions
-- give us suggestions and help us to present ZENIT to a benefactor or an institution that is interested in promoting Christian culture through the media
-- and don't forget to pray.
We are counting on you!
The ZENIT team thanks you for all you are able to do.
