The e.Lib: Donations

Many of our visitors have expressed interest in helping support the work done here at The e.Lib, and we really do need your support. We are incorporated as a non-profit organization, which means that donations are tax-deductible (see below). We are not supported by any outside organization. We do seek and receive grants ... but the majority of our funding comes from the generosity of readers and researchers, such as yourself.

Keeping everything online, and trying to find time to add to the content, is very challenging. At present, we have almost 20,000 visitors to our websites on a daily basis, requiring an extensive investment in bandwidth and equipment. Our servers are housed in a separate, secure facility, designed specifically for computers that serve information to the Internet. They are accessible, by us, from anywhere in the world!

There are several ways you can help keep this valuable information online: You can donate online through our secure online payment system, by using Google, Amazon.com or Paypal, or send your check or money order by regular mail. e.Lib TextAds are a non-intrusive way to get your message out to our large viewership.

RECURRING DONATIONS:

If you want to make a recurring donation to the Rudolf Steiner Archive, here is a way of doing it using PayPal's secure webserver. It's fast, it's free, it's secure. You will need to register with Paypal to donate because you need to be able to control when the recurring donations are made, and for how long. Please remember: we have been using the PayPal services for over 17 years with no problems! This address, library@elib.com, is our Verified PayPal email.

For the time being, we have discontinued offering our own gateway for users to donate using their credit cards. We have been used as a stolen credit card verification site, and have been bombarded with a huge amount of phoney donations. We have to deny or return funds to people who did not even know that their credit card information was stolen, and we are charged a fee for each one! Until further notice, please use our PayPal, Amazon.com or Google interfaces. Thank you!

Google Donations is a fast, convenient donation process using a single login making it easy to make on-line donations ... and do it again and again. Simply fill in the amount field, and click the “Donate” button to be taken to Google's Secure Server for completion of this transaction!
