The Donation Coder website and community is special. Not only because I have a long standing relationship with several of its members but also because it is taking an approach that most other sites on the Internet does not take. Instead of relying on online advertisement to fund their projects they rely on donations from their community. Those donations are put into good use to pay for the server costs, websites and also some of the regular goodies that they throw at their users and members.
The last fundraiser was more than two years ago and they started a new round just yesterday asking their members and friends for donations that they can spare. There are quite a few reasons why I like the Donation Coder. They do produce some fantastic programs that I use on a daily basis. But the software is only one aspect of the website. If you ever participated in their forum you might have realized how helpful they are. Just post an idea about a new software program and watch what happens. It is not seldom that you get a working piece of code after a few hours that does exactly what you wanted.
If you look at the Donation page you notice that they want to raise a total of $8000 and are currently stuck at $899. It would not be the Donation Coder site if they would not have come up with a crazy chart that is suggesting a donation amount based on the annual income and the love of the site.
I personally have not donated before (shame on me) and I figured that I should do so before even starting this article. I suggest you do the same if you like Donation Coder software and have a few bucks to spare. It’s money well spend. Rock on!
