[Boucheau]

How does one donate to FR and remain anonymous?

[Jet Jaguar]

You can donate by CC and choose the block that says i would like to remain anonymous. I know, then the info is out there.

You could send a check.

[Boucheau]

Admittedly, I have never donated to FR because I wish to remain anonymous.

But, given all that is happening I would like to support this forum financially.

I’ll figure something out.

Thanks.
