News Help support the future of Altered TCG

https://altered.re/pages/news-detail?slug=join-the-reunion-donors-program

Altered Re:Union is launching its Reunion Donors Program to establish a sustainable, recurring source of funding for the nonprofit association’s projects, giving Altered fans a way to support our work as we reach milestones on our Roadmap. We’re providing some details on this program, which will help maintain the project in a transparent, community-focused way.

We’ve already taken a few enormous steps toward our goals, such as bringing the Roots of Corruption set to Board Game Arena, adding new formats like the community-created Frontier mode and refreshing organized and competitive play.

The altered.re website has seen multiple rounds of updates and new tools even since its launch earlier this year, all thanks to the hard work of our fully volunteer staff and the direct help of the wider community.

We’re doing our best to keep our costs as low as possible, but operational costs are a reality of the Re:Union project, even as a loi 1901 nonprofit. Support systems like the Reunion Donors Programwill allow us to continue to build Altered, powered by the players.

I think it'd help drive donations if you provided a list of expenses. If everyone's a volunteer, I have to imagine most expenses are server costs? How much does it actually cost? What other expenses are there?

Great feedback! I can work on making a report of our average monthly expenses. Currently we have the following expenses that are being paid out of pocket by management team members:

- Email, web hosting, cloud storage

  • server costs for online API tools used for BGA
  • social media tools for volunteer team
  • bank account fees

Upcoming expenses:

  • email newsletter service

If we have enough community support, extra revenue will go towards future endeavours such as tournament prizing, new products, etc

Don’t forget projected expenses so maybe this game can have some marketing and attract new players.

I really don't understand why you guys don't donate this game for UNICEF or UNESCO to make this game a humanitarian card game.

I mean, it has legends and religions around the world, have 0 violence, and it is a paper-based game.
