Just copied the donations link from the first post, above, and pasted it with my other SOTA stuff, passwords, etc. It will now be easy to locate again when time for the next donation

Thank You for all you do for the SOTA. Had some trouble
getting my donation in to you; but, I finally got it via PAYPAL.
I echo what others say, please figure a way for us to donate
on this side of the pond so we can use as a deductible. No
big deal but my donation was sent.

On the donations page there is no indication of the currency, it is a good guess that it is UK Pounds and following through to the paypal screens, you find that guess is correct. However, it would help people estimate the amount being donated if the currency was included in the text on the donation page.
Iā€™m another who rarely orders certificates or trophies, so donating periodically seems like a good idea, as suggested by Guru @EA2IF.
Many small donations spread the load.

I agree Andrew. I had a double-surprise. I had typed in a value, in my mind using US dollars. Then I saw it was in Br pounds. But before I backed out I did a search for the dollars to pounds conversion. And I was pleasantly surprised. The difference wasnā€™t nearly what I expected. So I just let it ride.

The Management Team, and in particular the IT gurus, would like to thank everybody for their incredibly generous donations towards the running costs of SOTA.

The amount of money donated in the last month (along with Award and Merchandise sales) has provided enough money to pay the costs of the servers , their communication links and associated software costs for the remainder of 2020 and, probably all of 2021 as well.

The response of the whole of the SOTA community is outstanding and we cannot thank you enough for the support you have provided.

Has the money run out yet? I order certificates as I qualify for them as my contribution but now that I have become a regular SOTAist do you need my donation?

Iā€™m happy to donate! I couldnā€™t chase or activate SOTA without your services. Iā€™ve added a SOTA donation to my calendar to donate regularly.
