Pamela Gay, the CosmoQuest Project Director, is working on the budget for 2020 and has determined that the cost of maintaining the Bad Astronomy/Universe Today Forum is on the order of $500 for the upcoming calendar year. (This includes reserved instances of our server and database, as well as data transfer.) Ideally, we would like to raise that amount this month in order to be confident of entering the new year in a secure financial position.
Donations in any amount can be made directly via PayPal by visiting https://cosmoquest.org/x/donate/ , scrolling down and clicking on the large, yellow Donate button about halfway down the page. Be sure to include "FOR FORUM" in the notes section to make sure the donation is properly credited to help cover the Forum expenses.
All donations to CosmoQuest are tax deductible where allowed by the IRS.
