Server web hosting fees and paying for domain renewals requires approximately $300 each year.\u00a0 \u00a0These expenses are the only thing we use donations for. All project leaders volunteer their time without pay. We do not get any funding from other sources, so being a donator is a way to support Kidlink. Donations of any size ($10-$20-$30 and up) help to fund our efforts.\u00a0 We are not a 501(c)(3) organization. \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Donating with PayPal<\/strong><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">You do not need a PayPal account to donate, because PayPal also allows payments with a credit card. Kidlink can only accept PayPal or credit card funds. Simply click the link above and you will be directed to a PayPal donation site for the Kidlink Project. <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">For any questions or comments &#8211;\u00a0 <a href=\"kidlinkproject@gmail.com\">kidlinkproject@gmail.com<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;\"><strong>Why Donate to the Kidlink Project?<br \/>\n<\/strong>You are or have been involved in Kidlink activities or want to do so.
