PayPal
The cheapest and easiest way to donate is to send a bank payment to treasurer@budtempchi.net and choose “Sending to a friend.” Just make absolutely sure that you typed the email correctly! We recommend that you cut and paste the email address, just to be sure, as you may not be able to get a refund if you send money to the wrong person.
To be safer, or if you want to use a credit card, click the Donate button below. This method triggers fees of about 3%, so if you are able, throwing in a few extra dollars will help us see the full intended amount of your donation. So donate $52 for $50, $103 for $100, $258 for $250, $515 for $500, $1030 for $1,000, etc. Include your name and address so that we know who you are and where to send our thank yous.
Shop at Amazon
Shop at smile.amazon.com and select BTC as your preferred charity. BTC will get $5 for every $1,000 you spend! It may not sound like much, but it adds up. Click below and then make sure that you always go to smile.amazon.com (not regular amazon.com) to place your orders.
