Kathy just brought this to my attention.

Clicking on this selection will show all the transactions for the General Fund for the Surname Project. The transactions shown will be funds received by Family Tree DNA for the Surname Project General Fund and fund expenditures. Family Tree DNA accepts funds by check, credit card or PayPal. (Checks must be in US Dollars only. PayPal transactions must be to info@familytreedna.com, and specify XYZ Surname General Fund.) The General Fund provides an opportunity for Group Administrators to raise sponsorship funds in any currency by the sponsors using the credit card payment feature to handle the currency conversion. In addition, sponsors may feel more comfortable making their sponsorship contribution directly to Family Tree DNA. This feature could increase the sponsorship funds raised. For the month of October, Family Tree DNA will match any funds contributed to a General Fund, up to $200.00. The rules for these matching funds are: - up to $25.00 can be used per test kit from the matching funds - matching funds can only be applied to new test kits - matching funds must be used by 12/31/04, when they will expire
