Re: Time to give to this website
Donating more than the Black Friday HR Block Tax software price seems to be counterintuitive to the Boglehead way of life.
For the record, I’m joking. Mostly.

Re: Time to give to this website
Like other people here, I put it on autopilot years ago. My Amazon perk money goes to a strange nonprofit. Something call "Bogleheads"?
I like it. Since I set it up, every time I see these "Time to give to this website", I know I've already done it. A few hundred dollars this year.
Party on folks, and stay safe.

Any chance you can set up donations through Venmo? Would love to contribute but don't have PayPal and don't want to set it up. Thanks.

Re: Time to give to this website
Donation sent. Been popping in to this website for almost 11 years now. I owe a debt of gratitude to all the posters and the wiki and the mods. We will be able to give generously for years to come, retire early, or do whatever we can imagine once my spouse retires from the military. It's nice to be among friends.

Once you start the donation process, you can SKIP that nasty PayPay which is what we do.BrklynMike wrote: ↑Sat Dec 26, 2020 7:24 pm Any chance you can set up donations through Venmo? Would love to contribute but don't have PayPal and don't want to set it up. Thanks.
(I HATE PayPal, but that's another story!)
When you get to the "source of funding, there will be a secondary choice for a charge card.
Select that, and enter the information for charge card of choice.
Just make sure you do *NOT* click on any of the "PayPal" sections.
BTW: This works for most (maybe all?) of the "pay by PayPal" processes.

(The description was provided by the site owner, Alex Frakt. I updated the page.)The button will take you to a PayPal donation page. You can use a credit card for payment, you do not need a PayPal account.
Note that the page will show you are sending the payment to paypal@gostynska.com, with bogleheads.org listed under the heading "Purpose".

Quick question: have you considered registering the forum as an educational non-profit?

Quick question: have you considered registering the forum as an educational non-profit?
While this forum isn't registered as a 501c3 non-profit, The Bogle Center for Financial Literacy, who's mission statement includes helping to support this forum, is an IRS-approved 501c3 non-profit, which means that donations to The Bogle Center are tax-deductible.
So, for those who want a tax-deduction for their donation, they can donate to The Bogle Center and indicate on the donation that it's to help support the forum.

Re: Time to give to this website
Done.
The quality of this site is amazing, most social media devolves into snark, invective, talking past each other, etc. but the mods here do a great job of keeping people talking without shouting at each other. It's quickly become my favorite site to read with so much to learn and so many experts that participate.

Re: Time to give to this website
Six years ago I inherited a large sum and while my father was what I now know would be an absolute Boglehead and taught me the basics of LBYM, Invest and be patient, I was in no way prepared for his estate and all that would entail. I am thankful that I found this community right away and have benefitted greatly from it's steady hand which surely steered me away from possibly large mistakes and by being a bell-weather of logic and un-common sense.
I hope it is alright to use my Fido DAF, I have submitted a grant: JOHN C BOGLE CENTER FOR FINANCIAL LITERACY

Nothing wrong with using your Fidelity DAF (or Schwab or any other brokerage account DAF). Donations come from all kinds of sources, both personal and DAFs, and they're all appreciated.Kompass wrote: ↑Wed Dec 30, 2020 2:28 pm Six years ago I inherited a large sum and while my father was what I now know would be an absolute Boglehead and taught me the basics of LBYM, Invest and be patient, I was in no way prepared for his estate and all that would entail.

Re: Time to give to this website
Maybe someone needs to post a link to this thread over on the "2020 Net Worth" thread. Some of the folks on that thread can easily afford a very large donation, much less a small one.
Re: Time to give to this website
Thanks for starting this thread; I just submitted a donation. This site has improved my understanding of finances and investing in fundamental ways.

Sent a donation to the Bogle Center directing resources to the forum from my DAF. Thanks for the reminder and for those who help keep the forum going. Nice that Fidelity Charitable lists the Bogle Center as one of the charitable options

Re: Time to give to this website
Small donation made via PayPal. It’s against my instinct to PayPal random people but the education I have received here is invaluable. Worth much more than a gift subscription to Kiplingers, which is what started my financial Vanguard journey.
Thank you!!
Thank you!!
