Dear All,
We do not solicit or require Donations for what we make available here at Treeleaf, but we do welcome Donations from those who feel so moved. Our Donations Policy states:
More information here [and there is a Donate link in the above header]:
Donations to Treeleaf Sangha
In keeping with the above, I will be adding a short note to our weekly "Recommended Threads" posts, and also dropping a pointer toward the option from time to time, more or less like the following. We do have various costs to keep this place going and benefiting folks, and we feel that it encourages a gentle awareness of the availability of Donation without being pressing.
I hope that is okay to say, and please post if there is any comment on the wording.
Gassho, Jundo

We do not solicit or require Donations for what we make available here at Treeleaf, but we do welcome Donations from those who feel so moved. Our Donations Policy states:
There are no charges at all for the activities and teachings provided at Treeleaf Sangha, which are each offered free to all who may benefit. No donations are solicited or required. However, if someone wishes to make a voluntary donation to our community, they may do so at the following link with our gratitude. ... All donations are completely voluntary, without obligation, according to ability, and as one feels in one’s heart. Newcomers should wait some months until making sure they feel at home in our community before even considering to donate. We leave it to each person to decide.
...
All donations will be used for the purposes of the maintenance and improvement of software and equipment needed for this ‘digital’ Sangha, books, notices and publications to introduce our resources to those who may benefit, support of retreats and activities, and other Sangha related expenditures under the supervision of our 5 member “Donation Oversight and Expenditure Committee”

The option to give a monthly donation of any size you choose is awesome; it is automated and painless and easy to set up. I recommend it highly if you have a few dollars to give.
