It’s non-commercial, but not an IRS non-profit. We’re not independently wealthy and we (me, John, Amy and Chris) do not have the financial wherewithal to provide this website and keep it going without donations. The like-minded loyal FReepers who love and use FR always come through for us. Thank you all very much!
Donations to FR are not tax deductible. My partners and I pay all applicable state and federal taxes on FR’s income as members of the Limited Liability Company (Free Republic, LLC).
I appreciate the feedback,dear brother.
Does your main source of personal income come from donations for Free Republic
Thank you.
These distinctions: profit, non-profit are artificial. Very few are cases when profit is sought by doing something of no objective value, and also few are cases when one can afford doing good and not get paid. FR remains a place that nurtures conservatism in a unique way and I wish you, Jim to get immensely rich doing what you do.
Thank God that the donations have kept FR going. When FR goes down, well, it ain’t good. I take it, from FR’s performance today, that John upgraded the hardware this week? My grandchildren were here, and I wasn’t FReeping in the usual way earlier in the week.It had gotten slow enough to where I was systematically trying to anticipate when I would need a refresh of the latest posts/articles because I wasn’t happy waiting for the update to come back. Now, it’s quick. Great!
