First Quarter '03 FReepathon Now Underway

Donate to Free Republic ^ | January 9, 2003 | Jim Robinson

The Free Republic first quarter '03 FReepathon is now underway!

Our goal for this fundraiser is the same as last quarter: $65,000. We have about $4,000 per month coming in from monthly donors so we will need to raise approx $53,000 to hit the target.

The funds raised through these fundraisers are used to pay our operating costs. Free Republic operates on an approximate $260,000 annual budget (breakdown here) and all funds are provided by donations from FReepers and Lurkers.

Thank you all very much for your continued support.

P.S. We are planning to make FreeRepublic.com email addresses available as a thank you to all who donate at least once per year. This new feature should be ready to go within a few days. We will post a notice and a link for donors to setup their FR email address as soon as it's ready.

Donate to FR and help us keep the lights on for the best political forum on the NET!

I am not a monthly donor. I do contribute lump sums during the Freepathons.

I assume it would make your life easier, as well as making Freepathons shorter and consume less bandwidth to become a monthly donor, right?

Or does it make any difference?

[Gabz]

Howdy teach!!!!!

The way monthly calculations have been done in past FReepathons is that they get added in one lump some at the end of the "thon"

I don't recall anyone mentioning that policy changing.

It was on sale for $69 , Bummer part is it's all in French......

Did you spring for the optional white flag holder?

[Bella_Bru]

Ah....I see. Okie, I was just wondering.

[Jim Robinson]

There is one batch of monthly donations (about $1700) that has already been processed this month and is included in the total. The rest will come in later.

Ohhhhh! Those "message box" things were appearing exactly where the FReeper Fundraiser banner is located now.

I bet that's tied into it somehow.
