Hmm. It’s actually a little worse than that.
The text accompanying the donation link states: QUOTE SUPPORT THE FORUM Unmannedspaceflight.com is a project of the Planetary Society and is funded by donations from visitors and members. Help keep this forum up and running by contributing here. The link goes to The Planetary Society’s "Support a Project" page, which offers a number of options for making restricted gifts for specific Society activities, none of which appears to include UMSF. There's no option on that page for making an unrestricted /general operations donation, only a further link to a page discussing a variety of different support options. I would guess -- it's not clear -- that only one of those options, membership, directs a donation into an account that includes the expenses of "keep[ing] this forum up and running." I've had a little to do with volunteer fundraising organizations, and this kind of creeping lack of clarity and mismatch between fundraising solicitations and program activities is almost inevitable over time, but it needs to be cleaned up when it's discovered. |
