Lkr Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 How long do you become a sponsor for a donation? What I mean is, does it only last a month? And how much is required to become a sponsor to get access to the maps. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S4GRU Posted July 15, 2012 Author Share Posted July 15, 2012 How long do you become a sponsor for a donation? What I mean is' date=' does it only last a month? And how much is required to become a sponsor to get access to the maps. Thanks[/quote'] Regular sponsorship is good for six months from the most recent donation. Premier sponsorship is indefinite. Regular sponsorship has no minimum. However we need to average 20-25 to make our monthly projections, but I understand not everyone can afford that.

Is that a desire for 20-25 per member or the amount total you need from all sponsors? Sorry if this is a dumb question haha. I just don't want to look bad for making a small donation to view the sponsor info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can afford more, it allows us to do more. Like host and create more maps, etc. If you can only afford $10, then it helps. Let your wallet be your guide.

lrosenman Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 I will go donate now. Also would like to offer my IT/ISP experience to help keep the server(s) running at no charge if you'd like. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesinclair Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Made a (small) donation. Cant do too much now, but I actually keep a list of websites I plan on supporting in the future when I can be more loose with money. Obviously added this one as well. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnHovah Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 I am part of those who donated $1 dollar -_- , I am sorry I couldn't donate more. I am a college student and can't afford much, my Sprint bill is already killing me, I know 5+ bucks won't kill anyone but that is my metro card money! I don't need to be upgraded to sponsor as I did it for kindness. Love the site and I hope the best. ^^^^^^^ Hey Robert, What would you think of adding a gift donation option? (sponsorship?) one of us senior(let me turn on my hearing aid) members could give the gift of sponsorship, because that would be awesome. #PayItForward 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had one person even pay for someone to upgrade to the Premier level. All you need to do is write in the Comments section of the PayPal donation that you are Sponsoring someone else and their screen name.
