THE PROBLEM
WITH ONE-TIME DONATIONS... We are certainly grateful to any donor for any
donation we receive, in any form we receive it. However, clearly we are making a
big push for monthly donors. Here’s why: With monthly donors we know what our
budget is. That’s key to making financial commitments to team members,
contributors and vendors. One-time donations are wonderful but difficult to
predict. The monthly donations have the added advantage of being automated.
That’s huge. It removes the cost of having a live human constantly updating the
donor records manually. That cost of paying a human to update the one-time donor
records can wipe out 25-50% of all the money donated! Every donor helps, monthly
donations do work better. / Marc Ash, Founder Reader Supported

Security

Eric Alterman, The Nation
