First Quarter '03 FReepathon Now Underway
.... ... The Free Republic first quarter '03 FReepathon is now underway! .... Thread 3
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!
"Most people feel that their small donations monthly won't make a difference, BUT THEY DO!"
During the summer Freepathon, Freeper Exit148 had an excellent suggestion that I'd like to post here:
To: WIMom
For those of you who want to donate during the fundraisers, but find it difficult to come up with a goodly sum when you need it yourself -- just for daily living, ----- here is an easy way to give, but not have it feel as tho you are ignoring the basic needs.
Just save some change each week. At the end of each week, just lighten the amount of change in your pocket, and save it for the fundraiser. After 3 months, those few quarters, nickles, dimes and pennies can add up for a donation, yet not be missed that much in the daily run of things.
Just try it! You'll be amazed!

I started this near the end of the last Freepathon and will count up my spare change tomorrow night and make additional donation for this quarter. It looks like there's probably somewhere between $10 to $12 in the jar. Let's say it's $10 -- that's equivalent to a $3+ monthly donation. Just by saving up spare change over three months. Hey, it's not a great sum of money. But if we had a two or three hundred Freepers and Lurkers (who aren't currently donating because they feel that such a small amount wouldn't make a difference) actually do this, it would certainly help!
I'd like to challenge 250 Freepers and Lurkers who aren't currently donating to try this - start now and see how easy it is to help support Free Republic during the next Freepathon. (Of course donations during this Freepathon are certainly welcome!)
Ok, so much for my 2 cents! ;o)
(Gotta run. I'll try to check back in later tonight. Do you think Exit148's suggestion should be worked in to a thread bomb? Just a thought...)
I liked the reference to full page newspaper ads paid for by settlement money, too. It was a GREAT speech. I LOVE listening to his opinion of trial lawyers and frivolous lawsuits.
It's a great idea.
I hate housework BUMP!!
Any FReeper or Lurker who makes a regular monthly donation to Free Republic by credit card, check, or PayPal may add his/her screen name to this list by simply FReepmailing the message "I am a monthly donor" to me or just declaring themselves on the FReepathon thread.
This list is completely voluntary. No name is added without permission. The list is posted periodically during fundraisers on the FReepathon thread.
We want to see this list expand until we have thousands of FReepers and Lurkers to make certain that Free Republic, the best conservative website on the internet, will continue to be here and grow. Thank you all for your support!
