Greetings troopers,
It's that time of year where we need to pay our bills. As last year we moved away from the temporary legion hosting and on to our own systems we have an increase in costs to cover.
As a stretch goal we have also included a proper backup solution into the costs. Currently this is managed manually and adhoc so a proper solution would be a great addition.
The breakdown of costs are as follows:
Hosting - $28.80 monthly after taxes
Hosting - Backups - $5.76 monthly after taxes (stretch goal)
Email - Send Grid - $19.95 monthly after taxes
Invision Licence - $75 annual
Members owed from previous term - $22.26
We would like cover the next 14 months of costs if possible. This means next years admin team are not thrown in with suddenly having to run a fundraiser. The idea will be from then onwards it will be 12 months at a time.
This brings our fundraising goal to $762.90 for the 14 months $865.39 for the 14 months. (value corrected 05 June 2025)
We'd like to ask for a $5 donation from members, but any value no matter how small will be appreciated.
Please send your donation via PayPal friends and family to [removed] please make sure you add a note saying FISD Forum 2025.
All members who donate will also have the 2025 supporter banner added to their profile, as with the earlier email costs fundraiser.
