Micro-donations might be a way for getting some funding to the fieldtrip development team. These are two that I recently encountered https://pledgie.com https://flattr.com

En 't is meteen handig om ermee te investeren, zodat er cadeautjes voor Arwen voor gekocht kunnen worden ;-). Proficiat daarzo.

Dank je. De schone slaapster ligt nog in bed, de drukte gaat later vandaag komen.

(In reply to Robert Oostenveld from comment #0) Arwen jarig begrijp ik? Gefeliciteerd :) About the donation button: I would then also be in favour of adding a Paypal 'Donate' button, my understanding is those buttons typically raise more than Flattr et al.

Great idea! I had a quick look, and Flattr takes 10% from the donations, whereas Pledgie only takes 3%. In any case, I think it is fair to be upfront about this to donators, so they know that they are also supporting the donation-page in some part. (I would therefore vote for Pledgie as they take the smaller percentage). Or Eelke's suggestin of Paypal directly. Do you need to open up a FieldTrip-specific bank account? Would be nice to keep accounting clean, but annoying that NL accounts charge quarterly fees simply to have an account open! (UK and US banks don't!)

I think flattr is the largest of its kind and is particularly successful in Europe. I would really appreciate to be able to start a flattr subscription for fieldtrip. Flattr recently started a cooperation with a payment provider (MangoPay) which (they say) will make it easier to manage your income and to transfer it without further costs to your real-money bank account. http://blog.flattr.net/2014/05/time-for-change-payments/
