The Last Straw isn't just a magazine; it's a community. All annual Subscribers to The Last Straw receive a one-year's worth of The Last Straw Journal.

Members of our community may also become Sponsors. A Two-String Bale sponsorship is an additional $20 per year above the annual Subscription; a Three-String Bale sponsorship is an additional $30 per year; a Load-Bearing sponsorship is an additional $50 per year; and a Community Builder sponsorship is an additional $100 or more per year. These sponsorships are tax-deductible; let us know if you need a receipt.

Sponsors are listed below alphabetically by state. Sponsors outside the USA follow, sorted alphabetically by country.

The Last Straw cannot endorse or vouch for the services, goods, information, or other offerings of any individual or entity.

Our heartfelt thanks to all Sponsors who have supported TLS over the years, and to those who have joined in supporting TLS with this issue!
