BTTT JIM SPEAKS OUT! (FReepathon Thread LVII)

FREE REPUBLIC | Thursday, August 25, 2016 | onyx

Today's initial thread has dropped from BREAKING NEWS so I'm using this rare opportunity to hopefully make more of y'all aware of the importance of Donating Monthly!





MONTHLY DONORS
(Just the Facts)

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.

Bump for tonight!

I checked 2 more stores today...no blue, one just say red and fall colors are in NOW. The other had teal and sand beige. I got a pretty blue drying mat so I guess you will have to air dry things!

Private Mail me a correct spelling for name and address will you please...onyx might not get delivered! LOL or exchange emails if you wish.

I hope Louie is finding all the correct patches of grass to water in his new home. Kato searches the correct spot several times a day...one special tree and one corner of grass is now favorable!

[mrsmith]

All right did it. 20 bucks/mo.
That includes 10 bucks towards my arrears (not that anyone but me is keeping score).

I’ll miss mailing in the money anonymously from far locations and with a fake return address. I don’t think I’m the only old Freeper who did that...
But I can’t keep it up.

Rock on FR! Needed more than ever!
