UpStage Contributions

UpStage Contributions

UpStage has existed for almost 20 years as an innovative online venue for experimental cyberformance (live online performance). The project has received small irregular grants but has been mainly sustained over the years by considerable volunteer input.

Now that the software has been rebuilt, we are seeking to establish a more sustainable financial basis. One possible income stream is small regular contributions from indivdiuals who love and support UpStage. Knowing that we have at least some regular income means that we can be sure to cover unavoidable costs such as hosting and technical maintenance.

We would like to know what you think about the idea of making a regular financial contribution to UpStage.

Would you consider making a regular monthly financial contribution to UpStage?
If you answered yes above, what amount of monthly contribution might you be able to give?
How would you prefer to make your contribution? (tick more than one option if you want)
Would you prefer this contribtion to be a donation, or a membership? (If you are a New Zealand tax payer, you would be able to claim a tax rebate on a donation; some people may be able to claim a membership as a work expense)
