The pledge drive is going better! But we’re not quite there yet

Good news, folks! Thanks to a new wave of donations, the pledge drive is getting back on track! Huge thanks to everyone who has donated, some of you quite generously, and to those who helped spread the word.

I was really worried — terrified, really — that this was it for the blog, but you all came through in a big way and things are looking much more secure.

But we’re still not quite there. And so if you haven’t donated yet, please do!

There are several more days to go in this pledge drive — though of course you are free to donate any time if you can’t swing it right now.

Thanks again! I honestly don’t know how to thank you all enough. Your generosity has really touched me deeply.

David

PS: I will have another post up in a few days in which I set out some plans on how to stabilize this blog’s finances so that this sort of crunch doesn’t happen again, knock on wood.

We Hunted the Mammoth relies on support from you, its readers, to survive. So please donate here if you can, or at David-Futrelle-1 on Venmo.

Pledge Drive update: Still struggling

I want to offer my deepest thanks to those who have responded to my urgent fundraising appeal — with donations, and by helping to spread the message.

But we’re still well short of the money I need to keep We Hunted the Mammoth running. If you haven’t donated yet, please give what you can. Your donations are what makes it possible for me to do this blog.

If you have donated already, please once again accept my profound thanks. Your support means everything to me.

The pledge drive is going badly and the survival of this blog is at stake. Please help.

I have bad news, and I’m going to have to be blunt. The pledge drive is going very poorly so far. Some of you have donated already – and I can’t tell you how much I appreciate those of you who have. But most of you haven’t, and the donations are coming in so slowly that, if this continues for the rest of the pledge drive, it’s going to mean the end of We Hunted the Mammoth. I’ll have enough to get through another month, maybe, and then I’ll have to shut it down.

The last time I was in a similar situation, during the early days of the last pledge drive, you folks came through in a big way and, well, saved the blog, and again I thank you for that act of generosity. I really hope you can do it again. If everyone who reads and enjoys this blog were to donate, we’d be more than fine. If even a good portion of you donate, we’ll be alright.

With the anti-trans backlash on top of the misogynistic backlash I’ve covered for more than a decade, this blog is more necessary than ever. Having to shut it down would break my heart, and I think it might break some of yours. Please help, if you can.

Thank you.

Pledge Drive UPDATE: Almost … there!

The last time I updated you on the progress of the pledge drive, I was feeling pretty discouraged about how it was going, and pretty pessimistic about the future of the site. But now, I’m feeling a lot better. Thanks to a small flood of donations, some quite generous, things are looking a lot brighter, and we’ve almost reached our goals.

If you’re one of those who donated, thank you!

If you haven’t donated yet, please rectify this by hitting the donate button below!

The Pledge Drive … is not going great

Sorry to have to bring some bad news to you all, but the pledge drive is, well, not doing so great. While some of you have stepped up and donated, in some cases generously, the total number of donors has been much smaller than usual, and unless we can turn this around, hopefully in the next few days, I’m going to have trouble keeping the blog running. It’s likely I’ll have to cut back on posts, possibly drastically, and/or seriously consider shutting the blog down. I’m really sorry to have to even raise this as a possibility, but unfortunately it’s a real one.

Which seems a pity, because if everyone who enjoys this blog on a regular basis were to donate even a small amount of money, as a lump sum or monthly, we could raise all the necessary money to keep the blog (and me) thriving in a matter of a couple of hours.

Thanks to everyone who donated during the pledge drive!

I want to offer huge thanks to all of you who donated during this slightly-extended pledge drive, as well as to those of you who donate monthly and between pledge drives. Some of you went above and beyond and I really appreciate it.

Despite this, we didn’t quite meet the goals I set for this pledge drive, though we came close. I hope that some of you who haven’t donated yet, or who may have never donated before, will consider dropping a few bucks in the bucket by clicking the button above and help push us closer to the finish line if not over it. You can also donate by Venmo at David-Futrelle-1.

I’m extending the pledge drive a few more days

Operators are standing by

I want to thank everyone who has donated, some quite generously, during this pledge drive so far. Unfortunately, there aren’t enough of you (yet); I’m less than half the way to my goal.

You can help to change that by clicking the button below (even if you don’t have a PayPal account).
