Note: Entries are made online and "on the fly".
The ledger is occasionally pulled into Excel, sloppy math errors are
corrected, and the page is put back online. This was last performed on
01/08/09.
All donations to the Home Brew Digest are appreciated and used to cover
its operating expenses - predominantly connectivity, the maintenance of the server
equipment and the domain name. The HBD is a legally registered not-for-profit corporation in
Michigan, and has its own bank account.
Checks can be made
payable to "Home Brew Digest, Inc." or, simply, "HBD", if that is preferred for
your bookkeeping; however, in order to be deducted from your
taxes you must make the check payable to Home Brew Digest,
Inc. as the IRS will not recognize "HBD" (however, we are maintaining records of donors to assist where necessary). Donations can be
mailed to:
HBD Server Fund
PO Box 871309
Canton Township, MI 48187-6309
NOTE:
It is still advisable that, if you wish to have "HBD Server Fund" on the
check, please ensure it is only in the Memo field. Leave the payee as Home Brew Digest, Inc. or HBD.
Thanks.
Donations to the HBD Server Fund can also be made by credit card via the
following link. Once at the PayPal site, you can donate any amount from $5
upward, in increments of $5 to serverfund@hbd.org. Please note that the HBD loses $0.30 plus
2.2% off of the total of each donation. If you wish to donate more than
$5, please change the "quantity" field to reflect the multiple of $5 US
you wish to donate, rather than make several separate donations of $5.
Thanks! Here's the link:
