The IUOMA is free for all members because of the many sponsors that donate to the IUOMA or because of the IUOMA bookshop that brings in money to keep this platform alive & free.
you can visit the bookshop at:
http://www.lulu.com/spotlight/iuoma
and when you order a few books, a small fee will be going to the IUOMA and you will get some lovely books on Mail-Art.

Want to support the IUOMA with a financial gift?
The money will be used to keep the IUOMA-platform alive. Current donations keep platform online till: September 2012. IUOMA is a non-profit organisation. If you want to donate to get IUOMA-publications into archives and museums please mention this with your donation.
By watching videos on
IUOMA TV
you can also sponsor the IUOMA. Every advertising you see brings in money to host the IUOMA.
So far members generated since May 2010 with 5459 views a total of $ 26,89
(update 8-5-2011)

The trick to bring the IUOMA some dollarcents instantly:
1. Click on IUOMA TV and let the video's run
2. Minimalize the browserwindow of the videos
3. Turn off the sound
4. Move to a new window to do your online work.
when the IUOMA TV channel runs for -lets say- 30 minutes , it brings the IUOMA about 0,10 US$
It costs you nothing, and yet, you sponsor the IUOMA.

Thanks to dozens of small and larger donations the next year of hosting IUOMA on NING has been arranged. ~Thank you all. If in the coming year more donations come in to pay for another year that would be great.
We have grown into a group of almost 1900 members now. Access is free for all members because of the donations ans sponsor activities like the selling of books (on IUOMA book store, PR materials from the IUOMA store, and even watching viedos on IUOMA TV in which the adverstings bring a few cents.
All is set for another year on Ning thanks mostly to the sponsors!

The bill for hosting IUOMA on NING just came in as is payed for. TO save costs I payed for a year in advance. The hosting costs about 20 US$ for a month. Also a price for the high volume of trafic with over 1,000,000 pageviews each years. Donations are always welcome. I am already investing a lot of time in moderating the website, so paying it all by myself would be too much.

another donation from USA came in yesterday and payed for another month. I choose not tho mention the donators on the website. I do keep a list of all the donators each year and eventually will do something with that.

Since the new changes on NING for higher prices, the IUOMA will depend more on donations from members. In this group I will keep all informed. The IUOMA network will stay FREE for all members. The donations are just needed to keep paying the hosting. All other tasks (moderating, mentorship) are on a non-profit basis.

These sponsors keep the IUOMA alive for the coming year.
