A
Quick Heads-Up Note About the Use of
the Term "Donation"
As of mid-2017, due to escalating concerns on the part of law
enforcement agencies and national governments about the use of the word
"donation" by an ever-increasing number of scammers trying to hoodwink
citizens out of their money for fake causes (i.e., fake charities, fake
policemen's benevolent associations, fake non-profits) and of terrorist
and other criminal organizations trying to accomplish money laundering
by moving funds under the title of "donations", many online pay vendors
have started to prohibit the use of the term "donation" when sending
funds via online pay methods (and, in many cases, via bank transfers as
well) unless the recipient of the "donation" is a true non-profit
organization that is registered in their country of origin as a
non-profit agency. As a result of these concerns, you will find that
for most (but not all) online pay methods listed below, options that
once were titled "donation in support of Vinny's spiritual work", or
"donation to support Vinny's spiritual trips", or "donation to support
the Receiving Divine Love and Grace page" have been re-worded to use
terms and phrases such as "gift to support", "funds to support", or,
where relevant, the term "fee", and/or other useful descriptions.
Strangely, on the opposite side of the coin, one or
two online pay vendors still prefer that we use the term "donation" to
denote gifts of funds to support certain efforts, and so, in the case
of those particular pay vendors, we will continue, for now, to use the
term donation where applicable.
My
freely-offered informational and educational websites have been totally
self-supported since their inception (and
many of my websites were started between August 2000 and June 2003).
While I offer the content on my websites freely, as a gift to all from
my heart, it is quite obvious that not only did my research in these
realms (and also my training, including formal education, that allowed
me to offer this material in the first place) incur costs, but there
are also monthly and yearly costs associated with web hosting, domain
registration, etc. As you have likely noticed, I have chosen not to
accept any advertising on any of my websites. As a result of all of
these factors, any funds that you might choose to send toward
supporting my research work and this site will be very much
appreciated.
Thus, I am seeking funds to help me to support
my
educational websites -- even two dollars helps! If you wish to support
my work,
you may do
so by using your credit card, ATM card, debit card, or transfer from
your bank account, via fully secure means. To send funds, please
click the link below, or use one of the other payment methods listed
below. All
transactions are secure; in all cases, you get to choose the dollar
amount!
Thank you very
much!
