I've been told another video is on the way soon. I'll share it with you as soon as it's up.

I thought our funds was on its way to the 100k mark? Or did you mean cumulative?

I was referring to our total donations to date. I wish we had 100 grand stored up, but we tend to issue donations every few months and unfortunately the ad units we have in place aren't terribly high yield as we lack dedicated sales personnel. There have been a few occasions here and there where revenue reporting issues has created a backup. We try to turn that into a positive by using those funds to finance large projects like the school in Kenya or the upcoming library in Nepal.

Ad revenues being what they are, we're hoping to build interest in the apparel line as there's far more fund-raising potential there. Obviously 100% of your donation would go to charity if you simply gave directly, and that's what we encourage first and foremost in each of these threads. Not everyone's interested in doing that, though, so the apparel helps fill that void. You get something tangible out of it, it's totally voluntary and unintrusive, and one t-shirt allows us to make a far larger contribution than we could raise via advertising if you visited the site dozens of times per day for an entire year.
