Thanks UTAH...
I just said we needed monthly donors and you arrived to be the ONE!!

[Mears]

I donate in 2 payments per year very close to the amount that $10.00 a month would bring.

Why is monthly better?

**Why is monthly better?**

How about if Jim answers that? Or one of the regular Freepathon crew members?

[Salvation]

Display your patriotic spirit
by becoming a monthly donor.

[Mears]

Thanks,Salvation.

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.

[Jim Robinson]

By the way, we appreciate your support very much whether monthly or semi-annual or however it works best for you. Thank you very much.

[3D-JOY]

Hi there just saw your note to me.

Monthly is better since it is a sure thing without all the Freepathon workers having to work for so many, many, many days. The reputation of the site would be enhanced too...maybe? Not sure it could be any better. We are greatly respected.

It would also provide a stable cash flow that could be depended upon. I would like to see Jim have less sleepless nights.

The strength of the site is the commitment of the followers and that is shown in the monthly donations.

As the Freepathon drags on the number of people trying to get to advertise here must grow. No advertising keeps us free to express OUR beliefs without control.

I am not the one to answer for Jim and the staff so that is just from my experience in finance.

Why not ask Jim directly. I bet he can tell you other and maybe much more important reasons!

[3D-JOY]

I have just realized I should not have spoken for you...I started as a personal opinion and then suggested he ask you.

I am sorry if I was in over my head. Would you like to answer him?

Next time I will think first!

His 2 payments in 2 quarters does not provide the steady cash flow you would like to achieve with Monthly Payments?

His donation is greatly appreciated and I hope I have done nothing to jeopardize that.

[Jim Robinson]

No problem. Thanks.

[Salvation]

Thanks, Jim, we can keep working and dreaming! Wow! To see it all in black and white is inspiring.
