Notes:

The above charts reflect a calendar month and not the fiscal month. The figures shown reflect the financial situation as of the last calendar day of that month.
(a) As of 6/4/2021, donations via Paypal did not move into the Citizendium account but languished in Paypal and are thus not shown here; we have now corrected this, and donations made between Feb. and May 2021 will be reflected in Jun 2021 cumulatively.
(b) On 7/21/2020, the server hardware was upgraded. Monthly costs were reduced to $74.95 (from the previous $99.95), and the wiki is running faster. Monthly costs are now ~$78.00 (~$75 after deducting PayPal's fee). There was, however, some overlap with the previous fee, as well as expenses generated by moving to a new system within the Server, so the total expenses for August 2020 were higher. Beginning with September, the monthly fee stabilized at $74.95. Because of our renegotiated contract with the server, there was an overlap in payments in the month of August, which resulted in no payments being made for the month of September. We also moved to a cheaper New Jersey-based bank account around September 2020.


NOTE 1: Only server hosting expenses shown here. Occasionally, there are other expenses such as email hosting et al.
NOTE 2: Thanks to our generous donors this year, including M. Audrius, G. Corder, A. Dedman, D. MacQuigg, J. McIntire, A. Naugler, P. Palmer, J. Shields, G. Swan, and M. Widmer.

Regular donations appreciated

We would appreciate it if our members could make regular donations, starting with as little as $3.90 per month, as shown just below:

20 members pledging $3.90 per month ($46.80/year) would be enough to keep the wiki going or
15 members pledging $5.20 per month ($62.40/year) would be enough to keep the wiki going or
10 members pledging $7.80 per month (93.60/year) would be enough to keep the wiki going

In Southern California, the cost of seeing a movie at the cinema is $15. Please make your donations here.
