WOW!
On June 29th, I posted a story that shared our financial status and asked for the community's support. And did you ever! As noted in that story:
So far, we have had 106 subscriptions this year which have netted us an estimated $2,794.92 (after processing fees from Stripe/Paypal) towards our goal of $3,500.00.
In short, we needed $705.08 to cover our expenses for the first half of the year (2020H1).
I am ecstatic to report that we not only covered that shortfall, but raised an additional $1254.52.
Thank You!!!
See the Subscription FAQ for a list of subscriber benefits. (Note: this is bit old; please mention in the comments if you find anything that is incorrect.)
The extra will go towards covering shortfalls from prior periods, help build our "rainy day" fund, and help us to be able to repay the $10,000.00 that our founders put up to get SoylentNews started.
I'll leave the first-half-year stats up in the "Site News" box for a few days before resetting it for the second half of the year. (That goal will be the same, $3500.00, toward which we have already raised $144.45 or 4.1% as of 20200702_120140 UTC.)
Here is the breakdown of our subscriptions for the first half of this year:
