Good Morning and Monday SHL,
As some of you may recall, HO asked a question in the previous offseason survey about user donations to the SHL to keep things running. Right now the average monthly server cost that the SHL pays to maintain the Forums, Index, Trading Card and Portal is approximately $50 USD a month or approximately $600 USD per year. The SHL relies on Donations large and small from members all around the league and that is why we're here. Currently for donations to the SHL you are awarded a special site badge. Donations have been on the lower side lately and HO has decided on some small incentives (Non-TPE based) to try and drum up some capital for the league. With a total annual donation of $12 (or $1 per month) a site user will be entitled to the following:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1...edit#gid=0 In addition to donating via PAYPAL, which is preferable due to the lower fees from transferring from another PAYPAL account we have also opened a (higher fee's) Ko-fi (similar to Patreon) page. Just to be totally transparent, the fees when it comes to this platform are on the higher side as you are sending a credit/debit card payment right to the paypal account. A $5 USD donation through Kofi nets $4.09. A $1 USD donation nets $0.49. $5 donation on Kofi showing total with fee: https://imgur.com/a/KcBzmIh Kofi link here: https://ko-fi.com/simulationhockeyleague Our general thoughts is that if 50 users were to donate a minimum of $12 per year we would have no issue covering the annual server costs. If we got to a point where there was a significant surplus, the plan would be to create a poll on the site for how the excess funds should be spent. Whether we took the advertising for recruiting purposes down the road, or donating to a charity that can be decided by user vote or some other method. There is no player based incentive here for donating and we don’t plan on awarding site money or TPE for real money donations to the SHL, this is purely voluntary and will also get some extra card packs in your pocket (trade me a Nash card please and thank you). In the case that the donations are not enough to cover the running costs, Wannabefinn, Jess & myself have pledged to cover any deficits in server costs. If you choose to donate please ensure that you make a post In this thread here so that I can properly provide you with your benefits package. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to reach out. I am more than happy to answer any questions anyone may have. Before anyone asks, here is a Nash pic as a bribe.

Edit Reason: I forgot the word "until"
)
Then you get annual benefits (12 months) and don't have to remember again until next year
