FAIR began as an organization in 1997. Until fairly recently, we’ve been an all-volunteer organization. That is no longer sustainable in keeping up with the attacks against The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and so we have gradually been hiring a small staff. However, we have been operating mostly on small donations and the proceeds from our annual conference and bookstore, and it just is not enough anymore. We need additional donations in order to continue operating at the level we’re currently at, but we’d really like to be able to do much more.
Please consider making a donation today. Every contribution, no matter the size, makes a meaningful difference. And if you’re in a position to give a more substantial gift, it would be a tremendous blessing to this work and to those we serve.
Help us reach more people, with more answers, and more timely responses. Make your donation here today.
Sincerely,
Trevor Holyoak

Experience the Greater Love of Jesus Christ this Easter
This Easter, we invite you to discover the greater love of Jesus Christ—a love that led Him to serve, sacrifice, and rise again. His resurrection gives us hope, healing, and the promise of eternal life. Join us in celebrating His love through study, service, and sharing His message.
Dear Friends,
We hope this newsletter finds you well. As we navigate the challenges of the world, we are reminded of the Savior’s call to love our neighbors and be peacemakers. At FAIR, we remain committed to strengthening faith, answering critical questions, and providing resources that support and uplift Latter-day Saints everywhere.
We have several exciting updates to share, including news from the Church, details about our upcoming FAIR Conference, and new resources to assist in your gospel study. Thank you for your continued support—we couldn’t do this work without you!
In his April 2023 General Conference address, President Russell M. Nelson emphasized the importance of being peacemakers:
FAIR is having a free virtual conference this weekend entitled “Understanding and Defending the History of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.” Friday evening, the keynote speaker will be Matthew McBride talking about Saints, Vol. 4 (which is coming out later this month).

Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints look forward to the General Conferences of the church as a time to hear the word of God and listen to His servants as they share messages they have been guided to share. Over the course of the five sessions of Conference, members often feel inspired by the talks, music and spiritual promptings they receive. It’s an amazing experience to be in General Conference…but once General Conference is over, how can you keep it with you? How can you let General Conference change you? Alma the Younger said it this way: [Read more…] about Consider Conference: Keeping the Messages of General Conference With Us
