With all due respect, that's not an answer... why are we being vague? Are you a congressman?
I appreciate your interest in the progress. I'm sorry it is taking us this long to get the answers to all of your questions. Gathering accurate numbers takes a bit of time, and we want to be sure anything we share is reliable. We are still sorting a few things out. One of those is how much we actually received after fees were taken out. Others include both one time and recurring costs. We will be able to share that information soon. I do not have that calculation completed yet. I expect to have that by tomorrow.
Separately from that number, the upcoming annual report will breakdown:
- Exactly what was raised so far, including processing costs
- How much we are spending
- How much we have committed
Any idea what the average “sustaining” monthly donation is / would be?
$50? $30? $14.99? $10 + F*ck *ichigan?
On the surface it seems like a simpler thing to answer, and I would love to be able to answer that question. We believe we will need $425/month to sustain a stable site. Since at this point we have no idea how many members of our community will be able to contribute financially we really can't know what that average needs to be.
We know people's situations are ever changing. We just want to make sure that as they change, we keep you informed and we remain stable.
Again, I am sorry we haven't supplied more information, but we are still trying to figure it out. Please be patient with us.
