For the past 29 years, Consumer World has brought readers the latest in consumer news, scam alerts, money-saving tips, and independent investigations. Unfortunately, corporate sponsors no longer help underwrite Consumer World, and advertising which I reluctantly introduced a few years ago hasn't helped much either.

So now I gently and somewhat hesitantly ask readers to consider financially supporting Consumer World and Mouse Print* to help me continue this consumer education and consumer journalism mission. Your gift will help keep these sites available as a free service.

Any amount you give is considered a gift and is not tax-deductible. Consumer World is a no-frills operation with no fancy (or any) offices, no board of directors, and is run on a shoestring by just one person full time (yours truly). We don't qualify to be a charity.

Thank you for your consideration.
