The 'Tip Jar'

To help promote herpes awareness and Australian Herpes Support Groups in general, a range of promotional materials has been developed (see the Downloads page). To help meet the expenses of professional printing, promotion and advertising a virtual 'Tip Jar' has been set up.

Support group members and others may choose to 'donate' funds online to assist with meeting these expenses. Payments can be made with Paypal - a secure online payment service which allows people to make payments to a person or group using their registered email address.

To make a donation, please click on the PayPal image link on the right. This will take you to the Paypal site. Payments can be made with a credit card, or, if you have, or wish to set up a PayPal account yourself, by direct debit from your saving account.

Credit card / account details are not shared with the payee. Your private information remains confidential between you and PayPal. See the PayPal Help pages for more info.

The email address to which payments are to be made is hsv_help@yahoo.com.au (Please copy and paste it to ensure there are no errors.)

If you DO NOT wish to use PayPal but still wish to contribute, please email hsv_help@yahoo.com.au for an alternative method.

Note: As this is not an official non-profit / charitable group, you will not be able to claim your donation as a tax deduction. Hopefully, the satisfaction gained from helping others is more than enough reward for your generosity.

We have a 'transparent' policy on fund raising - this means that all financial information will be made publically available. Below are the details of donations and expenses to date.

Note: Donors may wish to remain anonymous, use their Yahoo ID / MSN nickname, just a first name or their company name. Please inform us how you wish your donation to be recognised on this site.
