Robb,<br><br>Would you like to join the Board as our fund raising committee and chief cheerleader? <br><br>I sincerely appreciate your most kind support and your description of the 501(c)(3) process is certianly right on the money. Actually, I think a book would have been easier since I'd know what I was doing.<br><br>As to your question, apparently my donation banners are too subtle. As the animated button says, 100% of the donation goes to ETS. That is the beauty of the Network for Good program. They are themselves a non-profit and the people who process the credit card is a non-profit and every penny goes to the charity. (That's also something to think about for other donations you might make, you can donate to any 501(c)(3) via them.) The downside from a fundraising perspective is you lose some control in the process since it is fairly sterile once you leave ETS for Network for Good.<br><br>I did the banners myself, so they are rather crude, but you do what you can with what you have. My graphics skills are somewhat limited, to put it mildly. <br><br>I am slowly deploying the banners on all the pages on the site, I am up through the "Ds." Try to get some done every night, but... Because ETS is all hard coded HTML done over a period of years, I basically have to do each page individually. If they were dynamic pages it would be easier, but... Once that's done, I'll theoretically be able to make changes via Search and Replace if I want/need to change out the banners.<br><br>I'll also be setting up a sponsors page to acknowledge donations, as suggested. At least, it's on the list near the top.<br><br>Again, thanks very much for your support. Helps make the effort worthwhile.<br>
