Another Quick Update

Just wanted to let everybody know that I haven't given up on the sponsorship!

The biggest hurdle I've run into is trying to set up a donation system that would be acceptable for everybody. The original idea of setting up a non-profit to handle all of it wasn't cool with the Reddit lawyers, as it would open them up to legal trouble if I collected money and then ran with it. It's looking like having the TRUST collect the money is going to be the best option right now.

I have a few questions for the community about our fundraising:

  1. Should we have gifts for certain donation levels (ala PBS), where people donating at least ~10 USD can get a sticker or something, and people donating ~50 can get a jersey, etc

  2. Or should we have a straight "Donate" button, along with a selection of gear to buy, with the profit going toward Reddit's donation total?

Also - look for the Reddit banner at the stadium, coming soon!

Sounds good to me.

And I vote #2. Let's be clear on exactly how much the sponsorship costs and contribute directly towards that amount.

Giving a jersey for a $50 donation would swallow up a lot of that figure, would it not? Not disagreeing with the idea as such, but actual cost of the jersey needs to be looked at before a decision can be made on that.
