March 2025 Donations & Finances

[Cipher]

Hello everyone!

 

As always with these posts, I’d like to drop a quick reminder that there are more ways to support Homecoming than just through donations. For a general overview of the different ways you can help Homecoming, check out this thread.

Homecoming operates in a non-profit capacity* and accepts donations from the community each month to cover its operating expenses. These donation windows typically open on the last Saturday of each month, around 13:00 EST, and are automatically closed once the goal for the month has been reached. Any funds remaining at the end of each month are put towards our expenses for the following month. In the event that our expenses exceed our estimated costs for the month, the difference will be included in the donation goal for the following month.

 

If you wish to donate, you may do so here. The donation window for next month is open as of the time of this post and will automatically close once the goal is met. Thank you for your continued support!

 

* Homecoming is a Delaware registered Limited Liability Company, not a non-profit organization, and donations made to Homecoming are not tax deductible.

Glad to donate in order to keep Paragon City around!

I saw we were only at 47% complete, and I was like, oh crap! But then I saw the donation window had only been open for an hour. 😊

Dropped a few Drachmas in the till, which doesn't come near the enjoyment I've gotten out of this game over the past 20 years (with a 7 year interruption, not withstanding).

Always glad to donate! Love this game. I haven't played any other MMO that comes close to this game. I am... NICTUS

Are donations on the last Saturday only?

They open on the last Saturday of the month.  But, they remain open until the goal is met, which can take a few days.

Donated last night

For once I have some free coinage and it's already 100%

 

Next time Gadget... next time.
