    Finance and Donation Information

    Running a professional and immersive realism unit like the 502nd Military Intelligence Battalion takes more than strategy and teamwork, it takes real-world resources. While we proudly keep our community free to join and inclusive to all, donations help us maintain high-quality servers, develop custom tools, and deliver the best possible experience for our members.

    This page explains where those funds go, how to contribute, and how we recognize the generous individuals who support the future of our unit.


    Where Donations Go

    We are fully transparent about how donations are used, and all funds go directly back into the unit - no personal profits, ever.

    1. Game server hosting and performance upgrades
    2. Website, domain, forums, and backend software maintenance
    3. Server modifications and custom developments
    4. Graphics, overlays, and branding assets


    Current Monthly Costs: $148


    Who manages funding?

    Our finances are overseen by the Finance Officer in Charge, with accountability to Headquarters Staff and Group Admins. We maintain an internal record of all transactions and provide financial updates during meetings to ensure trust and transparency.


    Why Donate?

    We believe in keeping our community free to join and free to play. Donations are 100% optional but deeply appreciated. As a thank you for your generosity, for every $25.00 donated to the unit, you will receive an Army Achievement Medal with a published thank you from headquarters. To claim this, please message the Finance Officer in Charge @1LT S.Taylor with your full name and PayPal email to be checked on our donation records.

    You can donate through either of the following platforms:

    1. Ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/502nd
