    Have to say I did not realize things were this tight. I'm not on the forums all that often but I do play somewhat consistently and have never donated.

    I've set up a recurring $50 a month donation; will up it to $100 on the 1st of the year (2019) if things are still going strong.

    Hope this helps.

    Is SWGEmu set up as a non-profit organization (501c3 per us tax code) or is it possible to do so?

    Next, to what extent is the emu allowed to collect funds (i.e. Ad based support, GoFundMe, etc)? I noticed it said non-profit on the paypal page.

    Last, are there any emu members who can provide services the group instead of having to pay each month for them (lawyers, accountants, etc)?

    I hope we can all come up with some creative solutions to the problem maybe to help with it on a long term basis. We do have a great think tank here so we should use it.

    Gotta go order pizza now. Thanks!!

    Caio!!

    SWGEmu is a registered NPO in Hungary atm. We have always used PayPal, and only PayPal to collect donations. This is the first time in 14 years we've openly asked for them.

    No shame in asking for it Vlada... I know it's not an easy thing to do but when it's needed it's needed. We are all here harvesting labors of your hard work and of SWGEmu fruits just keep on doing what you guys do

    Understood. Is it permissible to raise funds through other avenues? Ads on the forums might help as a long term staple and using something more broad like GoFundMe might give the emu legs to reach a larger audience if those are techniques are allowed.

    Has anyone ever asked about professional services, like on a pro-bono or donation (as in per hr) basis? Id love to help, but Im a biologist/military aircrew civilian instructor so i dont think i would be much help in those realms. Would the dev crew be open to that type of assistance from the community if they came forward?

    Just tossing around ideas here

    If everyone who played on Bas just skipped one pizza a month and donated that money we'd be fine.

    Food for thought...

    Honestly we stayed away from Kickstarter, gofundme and any other site like that because we are waling a very thin legal line. We were allowed to exist only because of a verbal agreement our founders had with SOE. So we always tried to stay low key. Collecting donation only through our webpage and only by paypal.

    As for professional help, like accounting and or lawyers... Hmmm other than a few offers of hardware donations, we never really got any offers for that. Or at least i wasnt made aware there any.

    it's been a very very long time and I was never terribly great but I would be willing to study back up on things. Can't promise my ability stacks up to the job but I would love to help if I can.
