The Fashion Industry Network was created as a labor of love. The goal was to provide a free resource to help members of the fashion industry communicate with one another. Unfortunately, the expense associated with keeping the site online has continued to increased over the years.
This year in particular the company that created the technology that is used to organize the network has significantly raised the monthly fees (yes, that hurts). Because of the increased expense, we are not certain how much longer we can sustain the cost of the website. We are trying to figure out ways to avoid having to retire the network. Asking for donations rather than charging members to join the site is what we have in mind.
If you wish to contribute toward the networks expenses, you are welcome to do so from the Paypal system (method above).
Below is an example of what you would be saving (recent screen shot from FIN).
Any assistance that you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
