====Donate through your contribs.org forums account====

The preferred way is using the [http://forums.contribs.org/index.php?action=profile;area=subscriptions Donate] option (located in the menu bar) in the [http://forums.contribs.org/ forums]. You are free to choose the amount and you can choose to donate monthly, yearly or only once.

The benefit of donating through your forums account is that your forum user name will receive a badge, showing your donation status. '''Donations will be made through PayPal''', thank you for your help.

The second way is to donate money by using PayPal directly. Just click on the button below to be taken to the SME Server PayPal donation page. You will not receive a forum badge.
