Please support DU during the Summer Fund Drive! [View all]
Hello everyone -- it's time once again for DU's annual Summer Fund Drive!
This fund drive is special, because it's the only time during the year that you have the opportunity to gift a Star Membership to another member, and also to get hold of a classic DU bumper sticker (see below for details). So if you can, please consider purchasing a new Star Membership or renewing your existing Star Membership this week. Your contribution will ensure that DU continues to survive and thrive into the future.
IF YOU ARE ALREADY A MONTHLY SUBSCRIBER
Thank you! Monthly subscriptions are the best way to help DU. But if you would like to contribute again during the fund drive -- or if you would like to get the special Summer Fund Drive bonuses -- then please consider making an additional one-time contribution to DU. Making a one-time contribution from the link below does NOT affect any recurring payments that you may have set up previously.

IF YOU ARE A STAR MEMBER, BUT NOT A MONTHLY SUBSCRIBER
Thank you too! We deeply appreciate any financial contributions to DU, because DU cannot survive on ad revenue alone. But if you are interested in becoming a monthly subscriber, that would help even more, because it makes it much easier for us to figure out our budget. Signing up for a monthly subscription will really help us to keep going strong in 2025.
> Become a monthly subscriber!
If you don't want to become a monthly subscriber, you can easily re-up your Star Membership with a one-time contribution:

IF YOU ARE NOT A STAR MEMBER
It's easy to become one! A Star Membership will allow you to browse DU ad-free, and will give you a number of other perks. The link below will give you all the information you need about Star Memberships.

SUMMER FUND DRIVE BONUSES
For every $5 you contribute, you'll get a sticky to post on Grovelbot's Big Board.
For every $35 you contribute, you can choose to receive a DU bumper sticker and/or gift a Star Membership to a member who doesn't have one.
After you make a contribution for a qualifying amount, you'll receive a DU Mail message with further instructions.
The Summer Fund Drive will run for one week, from August 18 through August 25. Thank you for your support!
