By now, you are aware of our End-of-Year 2016 fundraising campaign. Please, if you have not yet done so, consider making an end-of-year donation to MEMRI today.
Twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year, MEMRI monitors the media of the Middle East – print, broadcast, and online – and sends you translations, reports, and analyses to "bridge the language gap" between this region and the West. No other organization is doing this important work.
On a daily basis, U.S. and Western government officials turn to MEMRI and MEMRI research for assistance with and a deeper understanding of confronting the challenges emanating from the Middle East. MEMRI is funded solely by our donors – you. Please support MEMRI today with a tax-deductible donation.

- Cyber & Jihad Lab – Researching and translating cyber jihad content originating in the Middle East, Iran, South Asia, and Africa.
- Russian Media Studies Project – Assisting Western governments and legislatures in understanding Russia's political discourse, vision, aims, and political scene, as well as the implications of its increased involvement in the Middle East.
- Iran Studies Project – Analyzing Iran's growing expansion in the region and monitoring statements about its developing missile program, the ongoing power struggle between its ideological and pragmatic camps, its suppression of dissidents, and more.
