Maintaining a website isn't easy, especially when you have a Tare running rampant, threatening to eat you out of house and home (or at least out of ice cream). We do the best we can, but it's not always easy and frankly, if something has to give, the Tare's going to be out on the street. No one wants that, so the Save the Tare! Fund was born.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Save the Tare! Fund?
Ginji isn't a cheap houseguest. Him and all his friends here can easily blow through a budget of $300 a quarter just to keep a roof over their heads. So far we're managing to hang on, but . . . it's a near thing. And expenses just keep increasing.
Rather than evicting everyone's favourite tare-raitei (and his motley assortment of housemates), we've set up a donation fund through PayPal. Even little donations can help, so don't feel like you have to give a lot.
To show our appreciation, everyone who makes a donation over $25 will get a little something back.
| Donation | Reward** | |
| $25 | Supporter | Choice of Wallpaper |
| $50 | Special Friend | [undecided] |
| $100 | SuperFriend | Choice of doujinshi/manga (1) |
| $250 | Bishie Addict | Custom journal/site layout |
| $1000 | Sugar Daddy/Momma | Set of manga [no more than 8 volumes] |
What will you do with my donation?
These funds are used to keep this site on the 'net, to maintain the Cafe, and to help us expand our offerings in the future. Selah keeps careful record of what goes in and out of the account and any donations not used each quarter will roll over and earn interest for the next quarter. We're watching our bandwidth closely and saving up for the day when we have to upgrade to a bigger package, so rollover's a good thing!

Nope! Give as much or as little as you feel comfortable donating. Just as a general rule of thumb, though, we'd suggest starting no lower than $1.
I don't have PayPal. Can I still donate?
Sure! We know not everyone wants to deal with PayPal and this is fine. We've had nothing but positive experiences, but again, that's just us. For more information or suggestions of other donation programs, contact Selah.
