It looks like PayPal and Venmo are the best options for receiving donations. If you'd like to donate something to help keep the site running, here are the links: If you donate using money already in your PayPal or Venmo account, then there's no fee for transferring money. Straight from a credit card, ~3% will be taken out before it gets to the website account. When I'm reporting financial statements to you guys (for transparency), I'll be reporting the actual amounts coming in, so I just wanted to make sure everyone knew in case they donate $20 and it's reported as something like $19.40.

I'll also add the links to my footer, so you can use the links there if it's easier to find.

My "goal" at this point is $95/year in donations to essentially cover half of the site hosting costs. You can donate any time of year, but I'll probably try to post something at the start of the fall semester every year as a reminder.
