**I would like to start by saying this forum post is from the stand point of an observation and am just making a suggestion. **

 

It's no secret that while our community is free to be in, that we do still try and raise funds to cover our expenses so TAW can continue to give back to it's community.  We have costs that range from Private Servers to Software to help keep our community running and growing.  While we do have some things that help generate revenue (Ads, Shop, Twitch), a good deal comes from members doing donations.  

 

Now I know every year we generally have to have a Fundraiser (I actually look forward to that every year), but I would each person reading this to take a minute and think about this.

Current Active Members: 1417

Months In Year:  12

If Each Person Donated $5: $7,085

 

So if everyone went and donated $5 USD right now, we'd generate $7,085.  Yes, I understand 2020 was a train wreck and that might not be financially feesable for everyone, but something to think about.  Now let's say everyone could afford that same $5 each month to donate: 1417 Members X $5 X12 = $85,020.  Okay, so Maybe $5 might be too much for someone to donate each month, let's say $2/mth (About the cost of 1 Medium Coffee once a month): 1417 x 2 x 12 = $34,008.  

 

See what donating the equivilant of 1 coffee per month from each person works out to?  $34,008.  I can tell you right now, by doing that every month every year, we wouldn't have to ever hold a fund raiser again because each month, TAW Members would be donating approx. $2,834.00. 

 

This sort of generating of income goes back to TAW community in a variety of ways:

 

  1. Covers ALL of our Operating Expenses first
  2. Allows a bigger split to go to units to allow for contests such as Recruiting Drives, etc
  3. Allows us to look at upgrading current software to run more efficiently with better security standards.

 

 

Where does all this money go back to?  Our Community!  Every staff in your divisions, every TFO, CC/CLC...none of us get paid, we're all volunteers.  So all the funds raised, goes back to TAW Community.

 

Please keep that in mind and consider signing up for recurring donations.
