On this page I will keep IUOMA members up to date on how the financial situation is for IUOMA on NING. According to the new guidelines by NING the hosting costed 588 USD (=508 Euro at current rates) when paid on a yearly basis.

For 2024-2025 : 508 EURO is brought up by members/sponsors (paid for)

For 2025-2026 : 121 euro needed (387 euros brought up by members/sponsors)

For 2026-2027 : 508 euro needed.

Thanks for all the donations! You people keep this platform alive for all!

update : March 28th 2025

The exchange-rate of USD-EUR might change the numbers a bit. And if NING changes it rates again, the table changes too!

For Paypal donations: IMPORTANT: please use the friends/family option. That means the transaction costs are minimal and Paypal doesn't get a large part of your donation.

Comment by Ruud Janssen on Friday: two donation already arrived after my message. That is a good reaction and helps a lot.

Lets keep this alive so every IUOMA member can use the platform for free without us having any advertising here.

Comment by Hélène LAGACHE on Friday: Ruud, I will make a donation to support the site. Thank you for your work

Comment by Ruud Janssen on Friday: Soon I will have to remove some non mail-art related groups on this platform because we are reaching a dangerous quantity of data. Would mean the hosting costs would triple. Can't afford that. Also donations are slow this year. Must be something with the crisis that is taking place worldwide. A few more donations would be welcome to help continuing this IUOMA network on NING. In July the next payment for 2025-2026 is due and the funds are not there yet.

Comment by Ruud Janssen on February 4, 2025 at 2:46pm: Some IUOMA members post a lot of non mail-art related images. That would be wonderful on Facebook and other social Media, but the IUOMA network is based on Mail-Art. So please keep that in focus. The lareger the database gets, the more expensive the hosting. Groups that are no longer needed or used eventually will get deleted to save space and money. The http://www.archive.org Internet Archive does store all that is published too because this is a large database. So you can view history there too!

Comment by Ruud Janssen on December 8, 2024 at 8:35am: a wonderful donation arrived from the USA. Another month is paid for. That looks great.

Comment by Fleur Helsingor on July 22, 2024 at 5:57pm: That's great news!

Comment by Helen Amyes on July 22, 2024 at 10:18am: Thanks Ruud, for keeping us "up to speed" and for All that You Do!

Comment by Ruud Janssen on July 22, 2024 at 5:25am: The bill for hosting IUOMA on NING arrived and is paid. So till July 2025 this platform is online. As you can see in the details on donations, we just made it. Thanks for all those kind donations to keep this platform alive and well

Comment by Mim Golub Scalin on July 12, 2024 at 3:15pm: Hello Ruud

That makes sense to remove older groups that have little or no activity.
And thanks for the reminder that this isn’t an

archive, it’s meant for communication.

The money will be used to keep the IUOMA-platform alive. Current donations keep platform online till 1-february-2026. If you want to donate to get IUOMA-publications into archives and museums please mention this with your donation. It will then be used to send some hardcopy books into museums and archives. You can order books yourself too at the IUOMA-Bookshop. That will sponsor the IUOMA as well.

IMPORTANT: please use the friends/family option with donation on Paypal. That makes transaction fee the lowest.

This IUOMA platform on NING has no advertisings, so the funding is completely depending on donationsby members. Access remains free for everybody off course
