Said the Gramophone 2008 Funding Drive

Hi! Welcome to our Funding Drive.

We are trying to raise $300. This is a little more than last year for two reasons: First, our server bills have gone up a little. Second, this year we're asking for an extra $50 towards a "Gramophone Fund" for special costs like contest prizes, giveaways, (and especially) postage - just a bit of money so we can do more out-of-the-ordinary things.

Here's the breakdown:

$115.00 - Annual website hosting costs (Revolution Hosting)
$100.00 - Annual mp3 hosting costs (cross fingers)
$ 75.00 - (new) the Gramophone Fund
$ 10.00 - to cover PayPal fees

TOTAL: $300 USD

Some reasons to give:
+ Every weekday, we write from our hearts about the music we love.
+ Said the Gramophone remains advertising free.
+ It's worth it to invest in things you like.
+ We are offering gifts.

Yes, we are offering some modest but heartfelt gifts.

$1-$14.99: receive our thanks.
$15.00-$24.99: Receive a postcard from Dan (in Japan!), Jordan (in Quebec City) or Sean (in Montreal).
$25.00-$34.99: Receive a copy of the still-unreleased new album by Jordan's band, The Cay.
$35.00+: Receive a small original drawing by our friend, the Montreal artist Kit Malo (lambsamongwolves.com).

Other things:

1. If you cannot afford to donate, we understand.
2. One of the things we value most of all is the comments our readers leave for us. Whether or not you donate, please write some words now and then: it's worth more than greenbacks.
3. If you are one of our family members, we'd rather you did not donate and instead just continued to love us.
4. For the moment this is PayPal only.

Finally: thank you.

Progress

Goal has been reached!
