Thank you so much for your support of the Oxford American! As an independent nonprofit, we depend on you to tell courageous, subversive, and essential stories from every corner of the South—from the edgelands of West Texas to the lowlands of South Carolina to the vibrant streets of New Orleans.

 Your support means we can:

  • Publish emerging voices in every single issue.
  • Feature stories that have traditionally been excluded from mainstream media. 
  • Distribute the magazine free of charge to Southern writing workshops.
  • Battle oversimplified depictions of our region by representing the beauty, creativity, and thoughtfulness of the “many Souths.”

Without you, none of this is possible. 

This month, will you continue your support and help us raise $30k in 30 days? 

Last year, you helped us publish our first-ever web zine, On Jubilee: A Juneteenth Series, which explores the holiday’s culinary traditions. We were thrilled to be recognized by the James Beard Awards for this work, including our nomination for excellent food coverage in a general interest publication. Your support is critical to our tradition of exemplary writing!

When you donate to the OA, you ensure that we continue to tell stories that matter, including the very best music coverage about icons you love and artists you will come to cherish. Every donation is tax-deductible and comes with a variety of perks, from exclusive membership in the OA Society to a lifetime subscription to the Oxford American

You are at the heart of all we do: reader, listener, champion of Southern storytelling. This June, let’s band together to raise $30k in 30 days. Are you with us?
