I took that new survey that's up and the part
about donating got me thinking
about a couple of things that have been on my mind about the subject.
First, when you go to the donations page, it give you an option to make a
"one time donation". Personally I'd like to set up an automatic, periodic
donation rather than have to remember to wander by manually. Something like
$18/month is what I give some other organizations. It would be really nice
if that kind of thing could be implemented.
While we no longer publish a direct link to recurring payments, you
can access a form that sets up a recurring payment through this link:
<http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Fundraising/USD/monthly>.
Please bear in mind, however, that this subscription payment is set up
through PayPal, and if you need to make any changes or cancel it, you
must do it through PayPal.
Second, what ever happened to our merchandise store? I
think the one on
Cafepress is still there
http://www.cafepress.com/wikipedia, but it isn't
linked to from the donations page anymore and good suggestions on the talk
page on meta (
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Store) have been sitting
stale without any action, some for years now. I think the store project
should be re-activated and expanded- why should others be making money from
the "citation needed" bumper stickers, for example?
I'll ask about this.
