Why Help The Homestar Runner Wiki?
If you're reading this, chances are you're already a Homestar Runner fan, and so you have a pretty good idea of why we would want to run a project like the Wiki. We do this for fun, and because we love the wonderful cartoons The Brothers Chaps have created.
All donations will be used strictly for hosting the site and keeping the domain registered. As of January 2011, The Homestar Runner Wiki's hosting cost is approximately US$50 per month.
Please do not feel obligated to donate. We guarantee that you are, and will continue to be, free to use our content regardless of whether you can afford to donate.

Donating via PayPal will deduct a surcharge of 2.9% plus US$0.30 from the total amount transferred. Please take this into account when you send your donations (After surcharges, $10.61 = $10.00; $20.91 = $20.00, and $51.80 = $50.00).
Deductibility of Donations
