Hello,

I thought you might be interested in supporting this GoFundMe, https://gofund.me/004071f0

Even a small donation could help reach the fundraising target. And if you can't make a donation, it would be great if you could share the fundraiser to help spread the word.

Thanks for having a look!

Hello All! 

In July, we raised £115 of our £300 monthly target at GoFundMe https://gofund.me/004071f0

Thanks to everyone who has made a donation towards the staff costs involved in running the list updates. Thanks also to the team (Naiade and Marcus) behind infog...@gmail.com, who do the hard work. 

This ongoing research also directly supports the @geoengineering1 twitter, and informs and inspires the "Reviewer 2 Does Geoengineering" podcast. Our alerts are then often redistributed by third parties - snowballing communication, to keep the research community informed. 

If members can continue to support this work, that would be most welcome. https://gofund.me/004071f0

Unfortunately, in July we only raised just over a third of the money needed, with contributions from 7 donors. This leaves me to cover the substantial cost shortfall personally. That's unlikely to be a sustainable position. Naturally, I'm keen to carry on providing this service, as I believe that it helps improve awareness of the field, and communication of research within it. 

If you'd like to help secure the future of this service, please consider making a donation at https://gofund.me/004071f0

Thanks in advance.

Hello! 

In August, we raised only £50 of the £300 monthly target, at https://gofund.me/004071f0

This money helps fund all the updates from infog...@gmail.com and @geoeng_info/@geoengineering1 twitter. I take no salary or stipend. 

While the generosity of contributing donors is gratefully received, the shortfall is now almost as much as my mortgage. Clearly, I won't be able to carry on providing this service to the same standard, without more support from list members. 

While I understand that readers have widely varying circumstances, please do support this fundraiser if you value the list updates, and want them to continue.

You can donate here. 


If you'd like to provide support by other means (whether time or money), please contact me directly. Similarly, if there are grants available, please let me know - a reliable grant would be the ideal way to fund this work, long term. 

Andrew
