We're looking for about ten people to sign up for $50USD monthly of
support. We'd like five people to sign up for $100USD monthly support.
Really though, the best thing is anyone signing up and saying "hey, I
like this and I'll still like it next month" - is that you?

Because the project is supported by our little 501c3, it means that
monthly donation is also a tax write off! And if you work for a company
that gives a matching donation, we're usually one of the groups who
qualifies for a match.

Please consider making a monthly donation automagically:

All the best,
