How Your Generosity Helps Keep TQP Online
The Quidditch Pitch has become so much larger than any of The Captains ever envisioned. While we are thrilled with the tremendous growth, this same growth has made it necessary for financial help to keep The Quidditch Pitch online and to allow us to continue giving both to fandom and to our authors and members. Below you'll find both our annual expenses broken down monthly as well as our goal for each month. Any donations go directly into the site or to charities. The Captains make no profit from this site and will never ask for Galleons to fill our own pockets.
