I’m going to steal the text from the last time we ran a donation drive (2 years ago) but I also wanted to thank everyone who contributed; without you, this place wouldn’t exist!
In the words of Stephen Coles: “TypeDrawers is an independent forum run by Tiffany Wardle de Sousa and James Hultquist-Todd. This site is not sponsored by any commercial entity. Participation is absolutely free, but members are welcome to contribute to the ongoing maintenance and improvement of the site. There is no prescribed fee — just give what you feel TypeDrawers is worth to you.”
Donations can be made through Paypal or, if you’re based in the US, we suggest making them through Square.
Thank you to all of those who have already supported — and who will continue to support — TypeDrawers without needing anything more than a little reminder. You make TypeDrawers what it is!

Donated for 2020.
Would y'all accept a donation from a corporate entity if they were giving one?1 -
Thank you André, Mark, and Nick!
Thomas, that would be fine.

Just out of curiosity, what happens to remaining money after the sum needed for hosting is gathered?

It’s held for the following year. That’s why we don’t run these drives every year.

I think that if/when you get past a certain point, you should pay out excess $$$ to the people who run the site—yourselves and the moderators. Please? Hold the drive every year, and once you have enough for the following year, everything beyond that goes to paying staff! You can let people know what the status of the funds is, so they know this before they donate.
Y’all are doing a service to the community. I appreciate that it is being done on a volunteer basis, but it’s not like you have a non-profit, right? And even non-profits can have paid staff. I know it wouldn’t be much, but it would be more than OK.

That makes sense. I definitely do appreciate the work everyone does here and they do deserve something!

I've just donated. TypeDrawers is not only very useful for font designers, but also for developers to make better font software, so keep up the good work!
