Greetings fellow exmos!

It's been a year since our last fund raiser and it's time to do it again. Although we hate to ask for money, the cost realities of hosting, bandwidth, etc. require us to occasionally ask for donations. Our last one was in July of 2019, and we only have a couple of months of funds left in our account.

The site costs about $2500/year to operate, and our goal is to raise two years worth of funding or $5000.
*** As an incentive *** anyone who donates $1000 or more will receive an original artwork created by CZ himself. I don't know what form that will take yet, but I will do my best not to disappoint.

Please use the Paypal donation button you can see by scrolling to the bottom of the home page: https://www.exmormon.org
You can use a credit card or your Paypal account (if you have one). If you want to pay by check or money order, you can send that directly to our ISP:

Wingnet
P.O. Box 2605, Cleveland, TN, 37320
Make sure to write "For exmormon.org" in the memo field so that they know to credit it to us.

No one is required to donate. This is strictly voluntary and we're not going to push anyone into doing it. If you're broke, then don't worry about giving your "widow's mite". The site does need money, but not badly enough to harm a donor. However, if you do have the money and you feel that the world is better with exmormon.org up and running, then a donation would be greatly appreciated. If you happen to be feeling flush, dig deep!

Exmormon.org is cheaper than Starbucks and waaaay cheaper then tithing. And think of the leverage your donations here enable against the church! How many dollars of tithing money has Exmormon.org deprived Mormonism of for every dollar donated here? I don't know, but it's a fun thing to think about.

Remember that no one in our administrative/moderator cadre gets paid for their work. We are strictly volunteers. All of the donated money goes to paying expenses involved in running the site.

We will post an anonymized list of donations as they come in. We will also pull down this request as soon as we have enough money for the coming year.

Thank you for your continued support and generosity!

CZ (ever grateful admin)

In this case, virtue signaling is tied to the size of your donation. Please be virtuous.

And maybe we ought to get some tote bags made.

The site costs about $2500/year to run. We'd love to get donations for two years worth of operation so that we don't have to fund raise again for a while.

I'll put the $5000 goal up on the OP.

Thanks to everyone!

In. I suppose this guarantees that I **will** burn at the Last Days. That is probably a good thing, since it will be a cold day in hell before I get into the CK. :)

I always contribute, but I'm sorry, I just can't this year. Too many unemployed people living with me and I am the sole provider.
