Can I post a fundraiser, or a petition for a worthy cause?

With caution. Open fundraisers (Kickstarter, Indiegogo, etc) can be touchy posts, and you shouldn't post links to your own active fundraisers, ever. You can post the project once the fundraising period has ended. Petitions and related "like our cause on Facebook"-style campaigns rarely make good posts for MetaFilter. Linking to the work of someone who has a Patreon, but who also has content available outside of donor-locked Patreon posts, is usually okay.

How can I donate money to support the site?

Go to the funding page. We accept donations and recurring subscription payments in any amount, through Stripe (for members), Paypal, by personal check, or in Bitcoin. (For these, you get a fancy message on your profile page, or you can choose not to display the message. If you'd like that profile message but it doesn't show up after you donate, just let us know via the contact form and we'll set it up manually.) You can also support the site by doing your Amazon shopping through our Amazon affiliate link. Plus we have t-shirts. Thank you for supporting the site!
