In order to give the MPE user community a way to go on the record as supporting our goals and to keep future options open, we are now accepting monetary donations from all companies and individuals interested in seeing MPE live and prosper beyond the 2010 end of support. You donations will allow OpenMPE to provide servicess in the form of patch coordination among the eight named source code licencees. Note that donations to 501(c)6 organizations like OpenMPE are NOT tax deductible. However, along with sincere thanks we are offering levels of exposure on our web site and reciprocal web links at higher donation levels; furthermore, icons will be available at each level that donors can display on their own web pages to show their commitment to the future of MPE.
Here are the donor levels (given in US dollars):
Bronze -- Donors giving $200 and up will be listed on the Bronze Donor Section.
Silver -- Donors giving $500 and up will be listed on the Silver Donor's Donor Section and may provide a small logo to be placed with the listing.
Gold -- Donors giving $1000 or more will be included on the Gold Donor Donor Section and may provide both a small Logo and a URL to which the listing will link.
Platinum -- Donors giving $5000 or more will be included on the Platinum Donor Section and may provide a large logo, a URL to which the listing should link and a brief company profile.
Donations can be made by sending a check to: OpenMPE, Inc. c/o Matthew Perdue, Treasurer, PO Box 460091, San Antonio, TX 78246-0091
It is important to remember that donations are NOT related to memberships; they are completely separate transactions. Also keep in mind that donations to and memberships in OpenMPE are not meant to replace other memberships.
