The Davis Wiki project is a community, non-profit effort to compile the undefined elements of everything Davis. Everyone can contribute and edit content — it is no one person or group's site. With this in mind, we intend to keep Davis Wiki completely free and, equally importantly, free from banner ads and other advertising. Forever. The only page that will ever mention our generous sponsors by name is this page.

Regardless of intentions, running a web site is not a free enterprise. Aside from the time spent coding features and regular site maintenance, which we gladly donate for free, we do need to pay for hosting and hardware costs. These costs are not tremendous but they are existent. Currently, it costs us $50/month for our hosting. So we ask — if you enjoy the site and want to help keep it running for as long as possible — that you make a contribution.

Please donate only if it is convenient for you. Many of us are students, and we have all experienced being completely broke. Davis Wiki doesn't need a lot, but every little bit counts. The money is kept in a Davis Wiki bank account used exclusively for site matters (non-profit).

Donate online with PayPal using your Credit/Debit card or your PayPal account:

To donate via check: Make your check payable to "Davis Wiki" and mail to this address:

P.O. Box 873
Davis, CA 95617-0873

If you donate via check, please send an email to <daviswiki AT gmail DOT com> to let us know so we can keep track of donations as they come in. If you don't want to be thanked publicly or have any other special instructions, please say so in your email.

We had a fantastic fundraising party extravaganza on July 29th, 2006! However, donations are much appreciated at any time.

Our current goal is to raise (amount not yet decided upon, probably around $1000) for the 2006-2007 period.

Our current total for the 2006/2007 period is $650.
