Josh is doing the water world and the WaterWonks who populate it a great service. Please consider helping him with a contribution. He's got two more mouths to feed (see below).
I think I said at one point that I would send out monthly fundraising emails, but then the last one was in… July of last year :)
The developers are pretty much done with the new platform (seems like I’ve been saying that for months as well) and we are hoping to launch the new site soon! Hopefully in a few weeks. While we did receive the generous SDC funds to support the platform, they only cover 50% of our budget and we are required to match the other half. So, every contribution, no matter how small, helps keep us going. It is one of our principles that we will never charge to use the site. If the website has helped you in any way from getting an opportunity to just simply saving you time from having to go to all the websites we curate from, please consider giving. If organizations have benefitted from having your jobs posted on the site, please consider supporting the platform.
There are several ways you can contribute:
- Preferred method: We have an online payment system: Using a bank card, you can give a one-time or monthly contribution here. The monthly contributions are particularly helpful to us. Any amount helps!
- GoFundMe
- Venmo: @JoshsWaterJobs (United States only)
- PayPal: Please use the email josh@joshswaterjobs.com
- Bank transfer: Contact Josh through the above email
- Invoice: Contact Josh through the above email
