The month of April will be the beginning of a small fundraising campaign for pfblogs.org. As you imagine, a certain amount of effort goes into maintaining pfblogs.org. We have also pledged not to take advertising as well feel it infringes on the rights of the bloggers within the community. Therefore, we’re asking for just a little bit back.
We have opened a PayPal account to accept donations, no matter how small. You can donate as little as $1 if you like.
There’s a special bonus for those who donate $10 $2 a month or a flat $25 or more. Any blogger who does so becomes a Friend of pfblogs.org, which will mean he or she receives the coveted gold star (
), a direct link to his or her blog from all pfblogs.org pages, a feeling of contentment after making a donation to something he or she considers worthy, and some benefits that will be named later.
If you are already a Friend of pfblogs.org, the donation will extend your status for one month or one year depending on your donation.
All funds go directly into the cost of supporting the site and prizes for a contest that will be announced in April. We are not a tax-exempt organization, so unfortunately your donation is not tax deductible in the United States.
Our goal for the month of April is $200. The Annual Campaign will last for just one month. Please help support us.
Done! PFBlogs is a fabulous resource and I’m glad to be able to help. I hope you far exceed your donation goal!
I just sent you my humble donation! Transaction ID 1XJ56606E3264273S via Paypal! I would like to still be known by my assumed name ‘Wandering Indian Monk’.
Good luck!

[...] PFBlogs.org is ad-free and a great resource, if you haven’t had a chance to check it out please do so, that isn’t free to keep up and running. In fact, I would imagine that it chews up quite a bit of bandwidth going out and pulling all those feeds and republishing them so the costs could be quite formidable. Regardless, they are passing the hat around and trying to raise a little extra cash to keep the operation humming along and if you enjoy using the resource please consider dropping a buck or two into the hat.

Glad to contribute, and a year of Friendship is a good deal.

[...] Amid all this, pfblogs.org’s fund raising campaign, which I’d like to recommend to all readers. I’ll be doing my bit, personally - but this is one request that I endorse.

You guys provide an amazing service…glad to help out.
[...] So, in deference to their usefulness I would like to remind everyone about (or introduce you to) their Annual Campaign for donations. Today, I donated $11.00 to PFBlogs.org. That is a 22.2% share of the AdSense revenue that MyMoneyForest.com visitors generated. [...]

[...] Here’s an Annual Campaign update. We have surpassed the goal for April and we have raised over $200 after PayPal fees. I won’t say how much, but we are getting close to $300. As I mentioned earlier, the donation that puts us above $300 after fees earns a credit for an extra year of membership in the Friends of pfblogs.org, and every April donee after that point will gain credit for an extra six months. If any donee is already a Friend, the extra year (or more) is added onto the first year. I won’t be announcing when we reach $300, but if you qualify for any extra membership, I’ll let you know.

[...] I’ve arrived home, and I’ve spent some time working on the administration of pfblogs.org. First of all, thank you to everyone who has supported us in our Annual Campaign. We have raised well past the goal for April, $200. Did we break $300? I won’t tell until the end of April because the individual whose donation puts us past $300 for the month of April receives a special extra gift as well as those who donate past that mark. [...]
