Okay, here are my thoughts on the charity CD idea. First, I really
appreciate the sentiment behind it. It's wonderful that you want to support
Rhizome.org and are willing to donate your time and art work.
That said, I think it will take a lot of work to pull it off. And even if
it turns out great, it will be very hard to sell enough copies to earn a
significant amount of money. So although it may be worth while as an end in
itself, I don't think it makes sense on a strictly financial level as a
fundraising tool. That's why I don't want to devote any of our very limited
resources to this project. Sorry to be a wet blanket, but it's my job to
make these kinds of decisions.
Because we are a registered not-for-profit organization, we must follow the
US Charities laws, and there are a lot of them that pertain to this kind of
thing. As we learned when we got involved in web hosting and online
education, you have to be very careful when it comes to earned income. We
can't afford to compromise our charitable status. So we'd either have to
run the project ourselves (to make sure it complies with all the US
Charities laws) or maintain a totally arms-length relationship. Since we
don't think it would be a good use of our resources, our only option is to
have nothing to do with it.
Kinda sucks, but that's the way it is. If you still want to go ahead with,
I suggest you handle it as follows:
+ Set up an independent group to produce/distribute a CD-ROM.
+ Manage all of your own income and expenses, including any in-kind donations.
+ Make it clear to all potential supporters of the production and buyers of
the CD-ROM that you are the group that is producing the product, and that
Rhizome is in no way involved in this production.
+ Then, if you choose to, you can say that a % of the proceeds will be
donated to Rhizome.org and you (the group) can make a donation to Rhizome,
and whoever the donation comes from will get the tax credit.
This is the cleanest way to do it. You have control of what you want to do,
we don't have to expend our scant resources overseeing it, and we also
don't risk endangering our charitable status.
Best,
Mark

## Results of Membership Fee Survey

Greetings:
Here are results of the web-based survey as of today, Monday November 4 (we
launched it on Thursday, October 24):
140 respondants, or 9%, said they would pay $21 or more
252 respondants, or 15%, said they would pay $11 to $20
393 respondants, or 24%, said they would pay $5 to $10
847 respondants, or 52%,. said they would not pay fee
Total respondants: 1632
Based on these results, it looks like we would generate somewhere between
$80,000 and $120,000 per year, depending on how many of our 20,000 members
are active.
By comparison, about 400 members have contributed to the community campaign
so far this year, for a total of about $15,000 (we're still tallying).
Hmmm...
Best,
Mark

postal order (also known as money order) is one option. snail mail is
another. perhaps the best option is paypal. paypal is a secure online
payment system that is available in 37 countries. to set up an account, you
need either a bank account or a credit card. sorry if this sounds like an
ad for paypal, but i think it's a great service. more info at
