dAWishingWell's Fundraising

Every month, dAWishingWell grants core memberships and point wishes. All points donated to TheWishingWidget go to granting wishes, but since we need a constant source of point donations to grant at least one core membership each month, we are offering some services in exchange for points. If we are short on points, we will grant less or smaller wishes.

If you can't donate points or grant point and membership wishes, don't worry! There are plenty of non-purchasable wishes you can help grant, like giving llamas, making features or watching deviants. Your time is just as precious to us! See if you can grant some wishes in The Showcase.

Financing packages

Wish packages

You can buy a Recurring wish or a Premium wish by sending points to TheWishingWidget. Since you are allowed a regular wish as well, don't forget to mention the type of wish (Regular, Recurring or Premium) when sending us your note. If you are not sure that your wish follows our rules, you can send us a note to have your wish reviewed before donating points.


Recurring and premium wishes, once granted, can simply be replaced with a new wish that will get the same treatment as your initial wish and will last for the remainder of the paid period. If you renew a recurring or premium wish, you can keep your wish as long as you want. No need to change it like the now-retired forever wish. 

Advertisement spots

You can buy an advertisement spot by sending points to TheWishingWidget. If you are not sure that your deviation (journal, advertisement image, poll or forum) follows our rules, you can send us a note to have your deviation reviewed before sending points.

dAWishingWell's goal is to advertise and grant wishes. We are selling our spots because we are subjecting our members to unrelated advertisements and we feel it should support our primary goal and ultimately help us grant more wishes. We will make sure our members know that those granted wishes were possible because of your generous donation!

Advertisement packages:

• 1 journal featured in Whisper's Friendly Bulletin - 1 time: 50 points (free for affiliates), 1 month: 100 points, 3 months: 200 points
• 1 journal featured on our front page (Newsboard): 1 month: 100 points, 3 months: 200 points
• 1 journal featured on both places: 1 month: 150 points, 3 months: 300 points

General rules about the advertisement packages

• Open to every deviant/group abiding to DeviantArt's and dAWishingWell's policies.
• We will accept journals, polls, forum posts and advertisement images only (an example of an advertisement image is an image containing commission guidelines).
  
• Every submitted piece of news must be DeviantArt related (we will not promote anything outside DeviantArt).
  
• This is not limited to community-oriented content; we will also feature personal news. Just remember that your piece of news might be viewed by a lot of people and some of them might not be so understanding of your personal issues.
• Every submitted piece of news must follow our submission policies (see dAWishingWell's rules). A journal can feature mature content if this content is properly flagged and represent a small percentage of the journal. An advertisement image containing mature content will not be accepted.
• We will remove a piece of news if:
• The link is broken
• The content is out-of-date
• The account is deactivated
• The piece of news was updated and is no longer following our rules
  
• If the piece of news must be removed before the end of the feature period, a reimbursement for the unused time might be possible depending of the circumstances like:
• The piece of news was rejected or removed by dAWishingWell
• The event was cancelled
  
• Circumstances outside the deviant control (sickness, broken computer, moving, etc.)
