very sad but understandable. Heads up, it may take time but we'll see better times.

I am not sure how donations and taxes work in the EU, but is EF a registered charitable organization? If yes, and someone donates their membership, could they get a donation receipt?

Since I'm in the USA, I can't deduct it, but I'll still donate it since I've already considered it "money spent" and you guys have done amazing things over the years. Happy to give back.

Thank you for considering a donation.

But, sorry, nope, EF is not a charitable organisation. There's just too much red tape to cut.

The Cheetah Protection Foundation (our charity) is, though.

I wouldn't be too sure about not being able to deduct a donation to a foreign charity. German tax authorities had no problem accepting the receipt from the Snowleopards Fund, which I've been donating to for a long time now...

I'll gladly pass on your note that their 'Donate' button on their own website doesn't work. Could you give me the link to the specific page you had trouble with? It seems to work fine through their home page 'Donations' button.

Since I still wanted to donate, but the above link didn't work, I want to spare everyone who has the same trouble the digging for the right one.
So here's the link:
https://www.gofundme.com/f/save-our-wildlife-centre-and-fight-covid19

Btw. maybe someone can tell them that their 'Donate' button on their website is broken. 

Thank you! Yes, you can still donate but the 1:1 matching campaign is now over.

How do I choose between getting a refund or donating my convention fee?

Simple. Just log in to our registration system and click on Refund Or Donate in the green area to the left.

You can then make your choice (see screenshot below).

If you pick the donate option, the fields asking for card holder or account info go away. You'll just need to tick the checkbox and click "Confirm my Choice". Then your registration will be automatically cancelled.

If you pick either one of the two refund options, you'll be asked for a bit of information, depending on your payment method. Fill it in, double check it (!!! IMPORTANT !!!), again tick the checkbox and click "Confirm my Choice". Your refund will eventually show up on the "View my Payments" page in the registration system. When it's all done, we will cancel your registration automatically.

Save The Cheetahs - Update

Phew! And we are done! Thanks to you and our matchgiving partners, we raised $8225.02 via GoFundMe (after fees) and another $7770 in matchgiving (after fees). This gives us a grand total of:

$15,993.02!

Thank you so much for your generosity and your kindness. Two things that make this fandom great. ^^

The announcement in this section should help with the questions you've got https://forum.eurofurence.org/index.php/topic,8940.0.html

Welp, hope was a fine thing.

See you all in 2021.

NB: There was a MIS-PRINT in Cheetah's earlier announcement. EF next year is Wednesday July 28th, to Sunday August 1st. Not the 29th to the 2nd, which was apparently a typo.
