Writing.Exchange Funding Shortfall

Our Writing.Exchange community has been running for almost eight years! But as our little writing space has grown, so have our hosting costs.

Many members of the community have contributed to help keep this space sustainable — if you have, thank you so much!

But after catching up on our accounting today, we're back at $0 in our Writing Exchange fund, with only 45% of our annual expenses covered by current donations.

As always, this community is financially supported by my tiny company, Write.as (@write_as@writing.exchange), in times like this so we can always keep the lights on. But for now, we'll have to fall back on that funding until we can get up to a sustainable level of income in our member-backed fund. Ultimately, we always want to keep this community independently funded directly by the people who share and socialize here.

So if you have the means and would like to contribute, especially if you aren't already a Write.as customer, we'd really appreciate anything you can donate, whether recurring or one-time.

Donate here on Open Collective

Either way, thank you all for continuing to write here every day, and for making this place what it is!
