First and foremost, the administration would like to say thank you to all the donors who've helped make our dreams for this site a reality.

ASSTR is a project of Internet Free Literature Corporation, a 501(c)(3) United State non-profit organization. As such, all donations to ASSTR are tax deductable to the maximum extent allowed by law.

The bottom line is that ASSTR must receive a steady source of donations in order to continue providing its services. The ISP bill alone is $800/month. In addition to the Internet service expense, there are legal expenses, monthly credit card processing fees, and periodic hardware maintanance and upgrades to handle the ever increasing services provided and number of people using the site.

ASSTR now accepts donations via the popular PayPal system. If you already are familiar with PayPal, just enter the amount you'd like to donate and click the PayPal Donate button.
