Hi Everyone! Similar to public broadcasting, it’s that time of year to ask for financial support. Our server hosting renewal is coming up, and it’s time to pay a few bills for the website, and to help support the broader community: StayLDS in particular, but also the Open Stories Foundation. That is the umbrella organization for the family of support and information groups that includes:
Mormon Stories Sunday School Podcastand all the other various sites and research projects like
Why Mormons Questionand several others.
If you are financially able, please donate to the Open Stories Foundation, even small amounts are appreciated. You can do this through the “DONATE NOW” button on our home page
http://www.staylds.comFor U.S. patrons, The Open Stories Foundation is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, and donations are tax-deductible. (
OpenStoriesFoundation.orgThanks!
That would be a good idea. I like the snail mail approach and any measures that would allow me to donate while maintaining some anonyminity. Address: Open Stories foundation
2754 N. 920 E.
N. Logan, UT 84341
I suppose it would be helpful to put a note in there explaining the donation is related to StayLDS.com, if that is what you would like to support. It can just go to the Open Stories Foundation generally too, or tell them what other podcast/community you would like to support. They try to keep track of where fundraising comes from.
I try to help them raise enough to at least cover the costs for our community so we are self-supporting. If we help them out additionally, that’s great. Thanks!
I just tried to donate on line and the “make my donation automatically repeat every” button can’t be changed… right now it is set at “month”. I would like to make a one time donation without the hassle of figuring out how to turn it off… is there a way to do a one time donation? I see what you mean. I’ll check to see what’s up, and if it’s still possible to make a one-time donation. Brian, You said you try to raise enough to keep StayLDs funded.
What is “enough”? A ballpark figure would help me determine how much I can afford to contribute.
Thanks!
If one makes a monthly donation to the “open stories foundation” does that cover this site or would it be needed separately donate to Staylds.com. Ok, I just reread the “Umbrella” so I assume that it is all the same thing.
Direct costs for this website run around $200 per year for the server and software, etc. It isn’t that much. It’s good if we can fund that and be self-sufficient, and then help at least a little with the overhead for Open Stories Foundation. Whatever people can give is great, even if it isn’t a lot. I appreciate it. Open Stories Foundation as a whole does a lot of good work to make the world of Mormonism more diverse and vibrant, especially online.
