It's the final day of the Summer Fund Drive -- thank you for your support!

Hello everyone,

Today (Sunday) is the last full day of the DU Summer Fund Drive -- everything will be back to normal some time tomorrow morning -- and I just wanted to thank you all for making this another successful fund drive. Your continued support is greatly appreciated not just by me, but should be appreciated by everyone else who is part of this community, because it's through your combined efforts that we are able to keep DU up and running.

If you are still interested in contributing before the end of the fund drive, you can make a one-time contribution here:

One-time contribution

Or you can start a monthly or yearly contribution here:

Recurring monthly contribution
Recurring yearly contribution

Prefer not to pay online? We take mail-in contributions too.

Contribute by mail

Since this is the Summer Fund Drive, anyone making a $35 contribution can gift a Star Membership to another DUer, and has the option to receive a classic DU bumper sticker. If you contribute $35 or more, you'll receive a DU Mail message with further information.

I'm sorry that sticky image uploading wasn't working properly this time around -- if you have any image stickies you want to add to the Big Board, you can send them directly to me and I'll take care of it.

Other than that, I will stop pestering you now, and say, once again, a huge thank you to all the DUers who contribute financially to keep our community going. This is the last fund drive of the year -- the Hearts Fund Drive will return in February as usual.

Thank you

EG

I gave $50 but I didn’t pick somebody to get a star can you pick someone for a star and
give it to him or her?



Thank you for all you do.

Of course I follow the "Use Credit Card" and/or "Pay Some Other Way."
Then when I enter all my credit card deets, click "Continue," nothing.

I'd love to donate, but there's not much I can do if no page shows up to show that my credit card payment has been processed. This has happened before.

I'm never going to use PayPal. And so far, this credit card payment system in lieu of PayPal has seemed more troublesome than it has to be.

You may have seen it already, or it may not be useful to you, but here it is just in case:

If the problem is that you've done the above, and then nothing happens after you click "Pay now as guest," unfortunately I'm not sure what to do. PayPal is the only service we use to process credit card payments, and once you're on their pages, I have no control over any technical issues that might come up there... sorry about that.
