I think if you were to take a poll you'd find lots of people interested in jumping in on a subscription bases at $30, $50, $100, even $200/month. I don't think you should give up on the whole thing without at least testing an alternate donations model. You might be changing the financial outlook dramatically with a subscription based model. Rather than having to sell people on a donation every time it is time to donate you would now only have to sell them on it once and then it just keeps on going on it's own. No one should know this better than an adult webmaster. You could potentially even pay employees rather than rely on volunteers. Coincidentally, is there something wrong with being profitable in this venture? Are you not providing a service? Can the subscription model not at least be tried and tested for a month? Is that not better than just giving up on it and never knowing what might have been?
