I don’t know what it’s like for other non-US resident CoE members, but it is hideously expensive to make transatlantic money transfers from Germany. Would it be an idea to see if other admin members in other countries are willing to collect donations and then transfer the whole lot in one go? That would make it a lot cheaper (since the fees probably are the same irrespective of the amount – at least that’s the case in Germany), and easier for people like myself to donate.

It’s quite impossible for me to contribute. I’d explain, but it’s just too long of a story.
I’m really sorry…but I don’t have a job at the moment..and my family is broke!! :'(
UK members
i was able to donate through pay pal i dontated $15 and it cost me less than £10
you can pay by switch and solo from the UK, which is great because i, like alot of students, dont have a credit card
as far as i can tell there was no transfer fee.
also sending a cheque in english £ shouldnt be too much of a problem and the cost of postage to the US isnt much for a single peice of paper. 😀
I wish I could but…I’m a bit too young and I don’t have a job
I’d love to, but my situation doesn’t allow. My story is long and complicated!
