Since the beginning, the Matronics List and Forum experience has been free from advertising. I have been approached by fair number of vendors wanting to tap into the large volume of activity across the various lists hosted here, but have always flatly refused. Everywhere you go on the Internet these days, a user is pummeled with flashing banners and videos and ads for crap that they don't want. Yahoo, Google and that elk are not "free". The user must constantly endure their barrage of commercialism thrust into their face at an ever increasing rate. Enough is enough, and the Lists at Matronics choose not to succumb to that.
That being said, running a service of this size is not "free". It costs a lot of money to maintain the hardware, pay for the electricity, air conditioning, maintenance contracts, etc, etc. etc. I choose to hold a PBS-like fund raiser each year during the month of November where I simply send out a short email every other day asking the members to make a small contribution to support the operation. That being said, that contribution is completely voluntary and non-compulsory. Many members choose not to contribute and that's fine.
However, a very modest percentage of the members do choose to make a contribution and it is that financial support that keeps the Lists running. And that's it. To my way of thinking, it is a much more pleasant way of maintaining the Lists and Forums. The other 11 months of the year, you don't see a single advertisement or request for support. That's refreshing and that is a List and Forum that I want to belong to. I think other people feel the same way.
Won't you please take a minute to make your Contribution today and support these Lists?

A fundraiser is a dynamic initiative aimed at mobilizing financial support for a particular cause or organization. Whether it be for charitable purposes, community projects, or humanitarian efforts, fundraisers play a pivotal role in gathering resources to make a positive impact. These events can take various forms, ranging from charity auctions and benefit concerts to online crowdfunding campaigns. In the context of international fundraising, considerations such as the Portuguese NIF, or tax identification number, become crucial for donors and organizations to navigate legal and financial frameworks. The Portuguese NIF is a key element in ensuring transparency and compliance with regulations, emphasizing the importance of global cooperation in achieving philanthropic goals.
