Supporting Afibbers.org I started off the New Year with a donation to Afibbers.org. I wanted to let people know (or remind veterans) that Afibbers.org is a US 501(c)(3) non-profit charity. It is wholly supported through donations. I've just made one. The donation button is located on the upper right hand side of the main, not Phorum page [url=https://www.afibbers.org/]here[/url]. On a phone, click the "hamburger" (three horizontal lines) menu in the upper left to get to the donate menu. This is a direct [url=https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=TKYVCFYKSLM74]link[/url] that Carey has shared previously. This is through PayPal, so even people not in the US can contribute. My understanding is that PayPal covers the costs, so 100% of your donation goes to Afibbers.org. It is certainly not required, but I feel it is a good way to help Shannon & Carey defray the costs of hosting the site for those who have benefitted, whether as a poster or a lurker. I certainly have benefited from the site and Shannon & Carey have quiet hearts, so this is a labor of love for them.

I'm not a paypal fan. is there an address a check can be sent?

You don't need a PayPal account to donate. You really don't even need to use them at all. Just click the "Donate with debit or credit card" button on the donation page. We just use them as our credit card processing agent because they don't charge non-profits a fee for processing the transaction. Otherwise, either we or the donors would lose 2-3% of every donation. But if you really just can't stomach using them at all, let me know and I'll post a snail mail address.]]> Carey AFIBBERS FORUM Sun, 14 Jun 2026 21:39:25 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,193927,201544#msg-201544 Re: Supporting Afibbers.org https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,193927,201544#msg-201544 acantha AFIBBERS FORUM Sat, 13 Jun 2026 19:07:50 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,193927,201330#msg-201330 Re: Supporting Afibbers.org https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,193927,201330#msg-201330 Carlorea AFIBBERS FORUM Tue, 05 May 2026 23:47:18 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,193927,200696#msg-200696 Re: Supporting Afibbers.org https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,193927,200696#msg-200696 Carey AFIBBERS FORUM Fri, 02 Jan 2026 20:24:23 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,193927,200693#msg-200693 Re: Supporting Afibbers.org https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,193927,200693#msg-200693 TomR AFIBBERS FORUM Fri, 02 Jan 2026 07:04:34 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,193927,200567#msg-200567 Re: Supporting Afibbers.org https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,193927,200567#msg-200567 gloaming AFIBBERS FORUM Sat, 29 Nov 2025 00:55:08 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,193927,200562#msg-200562 Re: Supporting Afibbers.org https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,193927,200562#msg-200562

I should also mention that for unknown reasons, donations have been down the last couple of months and this is the worst time of year for that to happen because all our major expenses come due at the end of the year and start of the new year. If you can spare a little to help keep the lights on, please click here and then click the "Donations" link at the top right of the page. While you're at it, you might want to read Shannon's welcome message.

You can donate via Paypal or credit card. (Paypal does NOT collect a fee from you or from us when you use it.) All donations are tax deductible for US citizens, and may be deductible in other countries as well. We are a registered 501(c)(3) corporation.

I appreciate all the support of this group and just donated!!!!

This is the direct PayPal link.]]> GeorgeN AFIBBERS FORUM Fri, 28 Nov 2025 20:27:39 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,193927,199570#msg-199570 Re: Supporting Afibbers.org https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,193927,199570#msg-199570

We probably also need to look into supporting other payment methods like cashapp, venmo, etc. Gen Z and younger doesn't do PayPal because it's for grandpa. ;)]]> Carey AFIBBERS FORUM Sat, 04 Jan 2025 00:30:43 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,193927,198431#msg-198431 Re: Supporting Afibbers.org in 2024 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,193927,198431#msg-198431

FYI - yesterday, the contribution link for credit/debit card did not allow me to use a US credit card for payment in USD. Paypal also did not accept my US Visa card with a Canadian address. But just now I got it the credit/debit option to work using a Canadian card. Thanks.

A quick search find others appearing to have similar issues with Paypal generally, not just with donations. What worked for you appears to be the easiest solution.]]> GeorgeN AFIBBERS FORUM Fri, 03 Jan 2025 18:03:26 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,193927,198429#msg-198429 Re: Supporting Afibbers.org in 2024 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,193927,198429#msg-198429 Carey AFIBBERS FORUM Fri, 03 Jan 2025 16:38:06 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,193927,198426#msg-198426 Re: Supporting Afibbers.org in 2024 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,193927,198426#msg-198426 TomR AFIBBERS FORUM Fri, 03 Jan 2025 05:40:02 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,193927,198156#msg-198156 Re: Supporting Afibbers.org in 2024 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,193927,198156#msg-198156

I attempted to donate via PayPal, but the site won't let me donate to a US society/site. Do I have to use a credit card? Any tips, runarounds..?

You're in Canada, right? If so, you shouldn't be having any problems.

My brother just died from congestive heart failure, he had AFIB and arteriosclerosis with 5 stents but refused to ackledge anything.

I made a nice donation for the New Year and now my Boss wants to now if we prefer flowers or a donation to a cause that matters to me.

Coming your way Shannon my friend.
