Contribute

Please contribute if you are able and wiling to support the TIAA Forum community. In honor of AA’s 7th tradition, this forum strives to be “…self supporting by our own contributions.” You can see how well we’re doing at that by looking at our Funding page. For your security, we partner with Stripe and do not keep your credit card information anywhere on the tiaa-forum.org site. Nor will TIAA Forum provide details about your contributions publicly on the Forum. Management of payment information is made through Stripe’s Customer Portal.

Recurring Contributions:

Here, as in the rooms, every dollar in the basket counts!
Please consider making a recurring contribution – even if for a small amount. It helps us to better plan for our financial future.

Note: If you wish to cancel an older recurring contribution, or have multiple recurring contributions, you may need to use the link provided in the receipt. The button above only accesses the most recently created transaction.

TIAA-FORUM is a 501(c )(3) non-profit and contributions are tax deductible. Use your own guidance as to whether or not to claim. Know that TIAA-FORUM sought 501( c)(3) status for the discounts available to non-profits for software and services, not for the deductibility of the contributions.

TIAA-FORUM will not provide a year-end statement of contributions – each contributor intending to take deductions will need to keep the receipts from each contribution.

Instructions for completing this form

Name (required):

The name you use here is not verified and only used to control for spam and bot submissions. It will not be tied to your account. You can create and edit a profile disclosing the account name and information you wish to expose to the community (not publicly visible outside the forum) when and after you join.

Email (required):

Email where the invitation to join will be sent. This will also become a default primary way of logging in or recovering your password. We recommend a personal email address (e.g. your_name@example.com) instead of a “positional” email address (e.g. webmaster@your_intergroup.org) unless you intend for you membership to rotate with the person holding the position in the future. This email address can be changed after you join if you wish to change it by editing your profile information.

Affirmation (required):

By the group conscience of the members, this forum is only open to members of AA and those non-members of AA supporting AA services (e.g. Intergroup offices, AA service structure, etc.).

Topic interests (required):

If you are interested in conversations in more than one  technical topic area (e.g. web sites, answering services, virtual meetings, etc.) or have a general curiosity about AA discussions in general (e.g. topics above and beyond technology like committees and group dynamics), you would probably want to select the default “General” option.

If your primary interest is in Archives only, you probably want to select the “Archives” option. Note that with either option, you will still have access to all topics on the forum but with the “Archives” option, your “home screen” will automatically place you in the “Archives” category where most of those conversations happen.
