standing applause for all the iNat staff
You guys rock!
Thanks to the iNat staff – I’m a sysadmin/software developer in my day job, so I know the sort of effort that goes into maintaining something like this. Well done, and thank you!
Welcome to the forums @saintaardvark
also nice user name :-)
Very happy to say, that as a Donor, I am SO PLEASED with iNaturalist!!! 
As a regular donor I have to admit I don’t like the monthly option. Too much “paperwork” for me.
When I’m going to make a donation, I think about all the time I spend here and how much I value iNat in my daily life. If I were to assign a dollar value to all that, it might exceed my income! Makes it easier to be a little generous.
