August 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.

If you can't afford to donate - don't worry!  

 

Just keep being awesome and help out the new players.  You can offer to start teams in game, answer the questions you know in help channel or simply be kind to each other in game, in forum and discord!  

 

Ty volunteers, devs and communities for making summer 25 awesome.

Thanks for keeping this going.  I just came back this past month when I discovered these servers were up.  Feels like old times.  Cheers.

Finally, I got in soon enough to donate.  These rules make it tough to participate, but at least we are going strong!
