Welcome to the FJ Financials Wiki
Financial documentation regarding FJ

Describe your topic
After receiving some inquiries regarding the financial status of FJ, a few of us decided to look at exactly where money was going. After reviewing dreamhost costs, learning what the ad revenues are and realizing that there seem to be discrepancies in what both we as administrators/moderators and the community have been told, we feel that we can no longer be involved in helping to run FJ. StarrieEyedKat and Austin will be stepping down as administrators, luckylibrarian will be stepping down as a moderator and Curious and emmyfair will no longer be tech support. The links below include screenshots of Dreamhost invoices, board posts, and Facebook posts documenting FJ's financial history.


 * Dreamhost servers cost less than $100 a month


 * When FJ initially moved, the first year of hosting was paid for in full by Archivist. Almost $700 in donations.were also raised in the first two months at FJ.org.
 * Dreamhost server costs have been completely paid for by those donations since we moved to our own website (There has been a negative balance on our Dreamhost account since we moved to FreeJinger.org)
 * Ad revenues have been between $800 and $2000 dollars a month.
 * When the discussion to incorporate began, premium services for a fee also were discussed, even though hosting costs are covered through donations and ad revenue is $800-$2000 per month.
 * FreeJinger did not become a non-profit as was originally planned. It was incorporated as a for-profit which is owned solely by Alecto and is for her benefit. Therefore, donations to FreeJinger are not tax deductible.
 * FJ LLC is also working on other websites, such as bridal and parenting websites, which may or may not be funded by donations and ad revenues from FJ.
 * The mobile apps - the first of which already had $400 raised in donations to launch it - have not been launched. Between the fundraiser and ad revenues, we should have at least one by now. **App is now much cheaper, and should be launched soon**
 * The new "monthly donation" paypal does not go directly to Dreamhost and there is no longer a link to donate directly to Dreamhost
 * Donations have not gone directly to Dreamhost since Sept 7th 2012 - this is when the new paypal buttons went up, and there have been no new donations to Dreamhost since August 30th 2012.
