Hey JSC Community!

Happy early spring (or false winter?)! We are coming up to our three year anniversary of launching the WhatsApp Community. While it has been a great and rewarding experience bringing people together, since May 2021, we have bills to pay to maintain the community and need your help to keep us going.

We have full time jobs and spend a lot of time moderating, posting events, and organizing events for our community. Most of the events organized by JSC are free or make virtually no money. We are not compensated for the work and time we invest in the community.

We took advantage of some promotions and “first year” discounts last year to get the website and event tracker plugin up and running. This upcoming year, the costs are significantly higher, so we need your help to pay the bills to keep the community going.

We also want to have funds available to explore other platforms to help our community grow and find new ways to connect people.

Our goal is to raise $4,000 by April 15th, otherwise we will wind down the services as they expire. For example, some of our event calendar features will stop functioning mid April and our entire JSC website hosting will expire in May. Our stretch goal is to raise $8k so we can cover some of the admin/labor costs for programming and data entry.

Every dollar will help us reach our fundraising goal, which will grow a stronger JSC. If everyone in this whatsapp group contributed just $5-10 we would reach both our goals immediately! We can’t wait to see how with your help JSC will continue to grow in 2024!

Thank you for your support!
