	This might sound like a lot of money, but please don't feel obligated to donate large amounts just to reach our goal. If only 120 users donate US$10, we'll raise the entire amount. We currently have over five thousand registered users on the wiki. It's a safe bet that at least 120 of those are actively using or contributing content to the site. If you use the site often, US$10 is a small amount to ask for six months. If you are a power user (you know who you are), US$20 is still quite a reasonable amount.

To make a donation, please utilize our [[HRWiki:Donations|donations]] page or send a [https://www.paypal.com PayPal] payment directly to [mailto:donations@hrwiki.org donations@hrwiki.org].

To recoup some of our server cost, we also offer a non-profit hosting service on our server called ''[http://www.fellowsites.org FellowSites]''. If you're currently paying to host a website, we would encourage you to switch to our service. You'll be supporting the wiki and we might even be able to save you some money. To find out more about ''FellowSites'', check out the website or [http://www.fellowsites.org/contact contact us].

Of course, you are under no obligation to donate or host a website with us. Please feel free to continue using the site even if you're unable to help out financially. Just being a member of the wiki and helping out where you can is more than enough contribution in itself.

To those who donate and to those who contribute to our community in other ways, we are grateful for your support.

Sincerely,
