Thank you! FACTnet Discussion Boards Staying Up.

Dear FACTnet users and supporters,

Last week we had to post an urgent request for donations, because FACTnet’s bank account balance had reached an all time low and critical services were in jeopardy.

Over the weekend we raised nearly $1,000, this means that the Discussion Boards are safe and will not be shut down today. FACTnet wishes to express a sincere and warm thank you to everyone that made a donation over the weekend.

However, this does not mean FACTnet is out of the woods, we still need to raise $3,000 in the immediate future to bring our balance back up to a reasonable level for month-to-month operations and to avoid a similar situation in the coming weeks.

Thank you so much for your generosity, we have been overwhelmed by your response and we are truly grateful for your ongoing support of this organization.

Please continue to give to FACTnet this holiday season, so we can continue to provide the services that helped thousands of people that have been victims of harmful cults and mind control groups.

We look forward to serving and supporting victims of harmful cults for many years to come.

Sincerely,

The board of directors of Factnet

Factnet’s Future

Factnet is growing at an amazing rate. Factnet is effective and we are the oldest and largest organization of our kind on the Internet.

People are downloading a gazillion web pages of healing cult information! By the time you get this, our discussion forums will be well beyond 420,000 posts and well over 14,000 registered users. We are so effective that more destructive cults are seeking to hack our website and hinder our organization from presenting information that is counter to what they state. This constant battle with aggressive, destructive cults, and our continuing rapid growth, cause our operating and security costs to keep rising as well.

But what does all this mean to you? Just that Factnet is here for you 24 hours a day everyday, freely helping anyone who has been abused by cults, including addressing the needs of their families and friends. Isn’t that something you can support? In 2005 we went in the red to keep Factnet up. See for yourself by downloading Factnet’s 2005 Income and expenses. But even with our best stewardship, we still need ongoing help from you to support our rapid expansion and new programs and services mentioned above in the Factnet Management briefing.

Please do something to help us financially. Do your part now and help stop destructive cults of all kinds from abusing others. You can be confident that every tax deductible dollar you donate is maximized by over a decade of proven, wise stewardship of your support. You can trust that we will always do our best to make each dollar you donate do the work of 10 dollars.

To donate now please use one of our online donation options or, if you are receiving this newsletter by snail mail, use the enclosed donation return envelope. Factnet is an IRS approved tax deductible, 501(3)(C) nonprofit charitable organization..
