Q: Why should I donate money?
A: You should only donate money if you really want to. The programs are, and always will be, freeware. There is no intention that FreeWX/FreeWX-Wi should be a money-making venture and any donations received are used solely to cover the authors costs incurred in providing and supporting the programs. This includes things like providing and maintaining the server (electricity, bandwidth and hardware costs) and (if funds permit) obtaining additional weather station hardware so that I can support new features and stations.

Q: How do I donate to FreeWX / FreeWX-Wi?
A: All donations are handled through PayPal. At the bottom of this page as well as the home page of this site you will find a Donate button for you to click. This will bring you to the secure Paypal donation page. PayPal provides a simple and secure method of sending money over the web using your credit card.

Q: How much money should I donate?
A: The amount of money you donate is completely up to you! Any size contribution is welcome, no matter how small it may seem. Remember, all those "small" donations will add up after time. No matter the size of your contribution, it will be greatly appreciated.

Q: What will I get from contributing?
A: Nothing more than my gratitude and a warm and fuzzy feeling from the knowledge that you have contributed toward the continuation of a viable alternative to expensive commercial weather station software. You will have supported your hobby.

Q: I don't live in Australia - can I still donate?
A: Of course! Since donations are handled through Paypal, visitors from all over the world can donate! Paypal accepts contributions from many countries including the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, and China, just to name a few.
