The only thing that I'm certain of is, if it's a mail-in, FR gets the whole amount. If it's a CC etc, I think they only get half. You'd have to FReepmail the Boss or post your question on the
thon thread.

I was doing a recurring contribution through PayPal, but have cut it off. While it wasn’t half, it was still a substantial ding & after Sheriff Mack’s run-in with PayPal I figured I wouldn’t give the lefties any more of my money. From now on I’ll mail a quarterly check & I’ll up my contribution level.
Couldn’t live without FR...

Sweet, thoughtful poobear! DJ is about right. The credit card companies and paypal charge a handling fee, which is why I think Jim decided to try to raise the extra amounts over two FReepathons, this one and the next one.
I think we could have easily raised the extra $15K in one fund raiser for just that purpose, but of course I and our Team weren't consulted...lol. Likely had more to do with the ordering and securing of the new servers and not wanting to disappoint members anxiously awaiting the installation.
