Did I do a wrong thing by donating?

I see the crowd funding thread has been deleted. Message from MNHQ re not allowing campaigns not from registered charities etc.

Have I been had? Now panicking about doxxing etc. I just wanted to help. I'm not that savvy really Blush

£4k is great. I still hope they smash their target.

All those normal people donating £20 here, £10 there. This is grassroots activism.

Oops. I seem to have accidentally bumped the thread. Grin

Ooh crowd funding here I come.

Blessed be the fruit

Wow over £4k that's amazing!

They've got to £4,040 though. Pretty good!

BingBongSong · 16/09/2018 22:45

So pleased that they have reached over £4000!

Noqont · 16/09/2018 22:44

Ooops sorry, I bumped it by accident.

BlackeyedSusan · 16/09/2018 22:37

eh?

[bit thick emotion]

BeyondAnOmnishambles · 16/09/2018 22:20

There's a crowdfunder? I didn't know

MrsTerryPratchett · 16/09/2018 22:18

I don't understand. If I post this, am I bumping the thread? Accidentally like.

TallulahWaitingInTheRain · 16/09/2018 22:11

I'm just coming on to remind everybody not to bump this thread

Noqont · 16/09/2018 20:58

Fair play for women are fine. I've donated before and I will continue to do so. It's definitely worth joining their Facebook page for details. They are on twitter too :-)

HotRocker · 16/09/2018 20:42

Absolutely not bumping the crowdfunder for FPFW. No no no, not doing that at all.

HawkeyeInConfusion · 16/09/2018 20:03

They have raised over £3500 now.

EmpressAdultHumanFemale · 16/09/2018 11:53

Or the 7,000+ new visitors to the site since the campaign started!

LangCleg · 16/09/2018 11:31

And should we not mention how well the campaign's going so far either?

No, don't mention anything about £2725!

BesmirchingMotherhood · 16/09/2018 11:18

Oh, thank goodness Fair play for women aren't doing that with their #Handsoffourrights crowd funder.

FlaviaAlbia · 16/09/2018 10:15

Crowdfunding was only banned because of an incident a while ago where a man may or may have not scammed a lot of mumsnetters and sent some dodgy PM's on some long running threads. It was easier to ban all crowdfunding links from then.

FPFW is thankfully not doing that Wink

EmpressOfSpartacus · 16/09/2018 10:08

OK Duggees, I won't.

Yes Juelles, it's a lot easier when you can just click on Paypal isn't it?

Juells · 16/09/2018 10:03

All these posts are just a transparent attempt to bypass the rules about crowdfunding.

Cross-threading, I see that they make donating easier than GWA do - I complained on another thread about the lack of an easy 'donate' button for GWA, but I see that FPFW have made it easy with Paypal. It does need to be easy, people have to be able to click and donate before they have time to get distracted.

No definitely don't mention that, Empress

EmpressOfSpartacus · 16/09/2018 09:59

So just to make sure this isn't bumped, no one should Google Fair Play For Women and donate to their crowdfunding thing.

Got it. And should we not mention how well the campaign's going so far either? I've been out leafleting a couple of times. Most people had no idea this was happening and want to know more.

KatVonGulag · 16/09/2018 09:54

I'm so grateful to these brave women. To all of you that have stuck your heads above the parapet.... because you care. I'll send more funding fpfw's way.

Theinconstantgardener · 16/09/2018 09:54

Or me

MangoSplit · 16/09/2018 09:40

Definitely not a bump from me
