We currently have 670 monthlies contributing approx $12,000 per month. If we could increase that by half to 1000 monthlies at the same average per, they'd be contributing approx $18,000 per month and our fundraisers could then complete in 30 days or less.
If we could increase that by half again to 1500 monthlies at the same average per, they'd be contributing approx $27,000 per month and our fundraisers could then complete in a week to 10 days or less.
And, of course, if we could increase it to anywhere close to 2000 monthlies, we wouldn't need fundraisers at all.
Go, monthlies!!
Btw, we do have that many people contributing and we do reach our goal every quarter (thanks to our loyal members and donors), they're just not all signed up as monthlies. And it sometimes takes 8 to 10 weeks to complete.
If you love FR and would like to see it continue on a sound financial footing, please consider becoming a monthly donor. If you can contribute $5, $10, $20, $30, $50 or any amount per month, it would be greatly appreciated and would help speed up or even end FReepathons.
You can sign up for monthly donations by credit card or PayPal or pledge to mail-in monthly checks. Or you can set up an automatic monthly payment to FR through the bill pay function of your online bank.

Thank you all very much.
God bless.
Thanks, Jim for all that calculating!
Wowsies......the power of monthlies!
Jim, you might also do a post about quarterlies for those who don’t want to worry about paying a credit card on time every month. Is the $300 club still a thing? Donate three quarters, enjoy one guilt free? (my fav) I haven’t been looking, but I haven’t noticed a $300 club post lately? :)
