The 2018 Dt.Org Fundraiser kicks off January 19th and will run through May 19, 2018.
Last year we raised over $15,400! Our goal this year is a modest $10,000.
Stephen King's Haven Foundation is no longer taking public donations. Therefore we will be donating to several different charities.

The first $5,000 we raise will be donated to the Bangor Public Library. This endowment will be in the name of TheDarkTower.org and will create funds to be used every year for the library. Like a trust fund, the endowment will generate over $250 a year (in theory in perpetuity) in the name of our site, and we can specify a subject or genre for the funds to be used for.

The next $1,000 will be donated to a library(s) in the Sarasota Florida area.

Any additional funds we raise will be divided among several charities including but not limited to: The Shriners Fund, and one or more of the charities suggested by The Haven Foundation here.

At the top of every page is a donation widget. Keep in mind that $10 gets you an entry for the grand prize. $200 total gets the max 20 entries.
Last year there were less than 150 unique donors and less than 400 total entries.
Pretty good odds considering the prizes.

We are streamlining this year’s event to make it easier to manage and hopefully increase the donation total.
Several book dealers have already committed to donating things that will either be used as giveaways, or auctioned off-we are hoping for more once this official announcement is posted.

100% of the net proceeds from all cash, check, Paypal gift donations and Ebay auctions will be forwarded to the mentioned charities (Ebay ad insertion, commission, shipping fees and shipping materials are the expenses that will be paid from the Gross proceeds).

Every person who donates $10 or more, or donates an item used for auction or giveaway (donors need to contact me in advance before sending potential items) will receive one entry into our giveaway*-maximum 20 entries per donor. Items for the giveaway have yet to be finalized, but rest assured they will be really exciting and cool! Please use the donation "widget" that is atop each forum page.

Stephen King has kindly agreed to personalize one of his books to our Grand Prize Winner!**

Personal Paypal donations must be noted as a “Gift” so that Paypal does not take a commission.
