Sorry for some reason I didn't get an email for your previous comment...
I think for now we leave them out and I'll think some more about how we can get them in later.

Problem solved going forward I guess, but what do we do about those who are already members?

Argh. I thought that was only available in Donorbox Pro. And of course we hadn't enabled it...
Thanks for digging this up. I've now enabled it for the membership campaign.

Hmm, I thought Donorbox had functionality to record that - https://donorbox.org/nonprofit-blog/ask-donor-subscribe-mailing-list?

Are we able to get a CSV of people and their email addresses out of Donorbox that have ticked a box to receive quarterly updates?

Do we have anyone who can help with this? We need to send the next quarterly email to the members soon and need some infrastructure to make this happen.

Following some feedback from users (and one YouTuber) who have had difficulty finding ways to customise their donations, I suggest some small changes that can solve these problems:

Maybe the link that says "Show your love..." here should not point here anymore, so as to avoid people from accidentally signing up for a system that will be soon de-commissioned, right?

Lays, are there any pages from the web that can help as inspiration for our page?

This one https://kde.org/fundraisers/yearend2022/ which we basically just want to copy past to kde.org/donate. I'll see if I can do that during the promo sprint this weekend

Done https://kde.org/community/donations/ :)

But there are probably some more additional improvements we can do

Hello all,
When we were discussing the use of Donorbox for Membership of KDE, we decided to use fundraising campaigns in donorbox because of the flexibility that we have. And we would have two campaigns, one fore ongoing donations and one for one - time donations.

Carl has worked a lot on the page, so it's not relevant anymore (but I'm still gonna send it because I'm stubborn), but here's an inconsistent mockup for the fundraiser + a countdown.

The point of this particular fundraiser is to gain more memberships, which cost 100€ per year at the minimum. I woudn't be in favor of making donation methods that don't meet this threshold have equal prominence with the ones that do. I think what Paul mentioned is ideal: a visually de-emphasized link to make a one-time donation if you don't think you can manage a membership.

This is actually expensive. When using the membership feature, donorbox is taking twice as much money as fee, unless we have a pro account :( I asked in the fundraising chat if we are using the pro version

What would be a good idea is more suggestions for other perks to make memberships more attractive. I am all ears.

We tried in the past to add perks to the memberships and this didn't work out. It was a lot of work and money to coordinate everything. We want to be efficient with our money usage.

Aside from adding the name of the donnors in the plasma wizard and maybe also display the name on the donation page (similarly to that fund.blender.org does), I don't think we should do any perks.

>  If you'd prefer a one-time donation, click here.

We were asked to make adding memberships the main thing, and it is what I did. That said, I agree we could make it a bit more noticeable by putting it higher up in the text and make it a button or something.

I put the link just beneath the donation box.

Also I just checked but donnorbox support membership compaign, that we should probably use:

https://donorbox.org/membership-compaign

This allow to define a minimum unfortunately this only support monthly and annually recurrence and not quartely. But 10€/month is similar to 25€/quarterly

This sounds like a bad idea, a T-Shirt cost a lot (particularly shipping) and KDE e.V. is often covering some of the cost for people outside of the eu. This would eat a significant portion of their donation.

It should be 25 a quarter or 100 a year minimum. If that's not the case we need to change it.
