Donation FAQs
Since it was founded in 2004, OrthodoxWiki has been fully financed by FrJohn. As of November 2011, costs have increased due to infrastructure improvements, and we are asking for your help to defray these costs, as well as the cost of future development on the wiki.
By our estimates, OrthodoxWIki is the most visited Orthodox Christian site in the English speaking world. We are approaching 200,000 unique visitors per month, with almost half a million page views. We want to keep OrthodoxWiki fast, stable, and keep making improvements.
Are donations tax-deductible?
Unfortunately, at this point donations are not tax-deductible.
Where does my donation go?
Donations sent via the PayPal button go to FrJohn and are earmarked for OrthodoxWiki hosting and development.
What about content?
We recognize that OrthodoxWiki is a community effort from top to bottom. Content is offered freely and is written by volunteers. This content is the heart of the website, and, although we value their work immensely, we do not pay contributors or editors.
If there are substantial donations, we would consider helping fund other related work to enhance the wiki, including digitization projects of archival public domain Orthodox literature.
