| Why should I donate? A closer look...
|
|
Though we keep operating costs to a minimum, LiveWire needs money to operate. These expenses cause us to look to our members for support.
As a registered non-profit public benefit corporation, LiveWire invests all donations back into the organization. We are beginning the process to become a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. LiveWire does NOT have 501(c)3 status with the IRS yet. LiveWire is an online community which seeks to provide a fun and confidential place where teens, high school students, and college school students can share their concerns and ideas while receiving support from their peers. LiveWire needs your donations because the revenue generated from banner advertisements is insufficient to support the site. Donations are used to pay our hosting bills.

| Choosing a way to donate
|
|
|
If you are donating with PayPal, your account can be upgraded instantly. However, if you use PayPal to send an eCheck, about 4 days processing time will be required by PayPal.
If you mail your donation, you must include a note with your exact LiveWire membername or we will be unable to reward your LiveWire account for your donation. LiveWire cannot accept currency other than United States Dollars due to the inability to exchange it at our bank.
