I think it's time to pick up my marbles and go home.
For now, I'm going grocery shopping.
I donate in 2 payments per year very close to the amount that $10.00 a month would bring.
Why is monthly better?

On an individual basis like that, it’s hard to see a difference. But, in general, the larger the Monthly total, the quicker the fundraiser.
For example, if we could get our Monthly figure over $15,000 then they would represent $45,000 total for the quarter. That’s over half of our goal.
If my math is correct, with $15,000 in Monthlies, we could possibly be ending our fundraisers in under 30-40 days every quarter.
If we have a new fundraiser starting with a goal of $88,000 and it gets to about $30,000 (in three weeks or so) we could accrue the $45,000 in Monthlies and our new total would be $75,000 and there’d be only about $13,000 left to go.
With a big push we could probably raise that in a week to ten days and we’re done.
In other words, at $15,000 per month in Monthlies, our fundraisers would complete in half the time they take now.
If we could get to $20,000 per month in Monthlies they’d probably take less than three weeks to complete.
*If we could get to $30,000 per month in reliable Monthlies, we wouldn’t need fundraisers at all.
Currently, we have about 630 Monthlies totaling approx $11,000 per month or about $17.50 per monthly donation.
To get to $15,000 in Monthlies we’d need to keep those we have and add about 225 New Monthly Donors at about the same average.
A lofty goal, but doable.
