Here is what I have calculated as the grand total. Keep in mind that there have been donations which are not represented on the forums. December 16th, 3:43pm EST.
Grand Total: $1,173,443
The way this was calculated is as follows:
1) One time pledges. Total: $600
2) This Year Only. This years' pledges were added up as presented in e-mails or on the forums. If someone pledged $x,xxx per year for life, then this amount was added to this years total as well as future total as well. Total: $31,010
3) Lifetime Donations. For this, I assumed an average lifetime of 20 years. I added up all of the yearly pledges and multiplied by 20. Total: $661,000
4) Yearly Salary Percentages. I assumed an average salary of $50,000. I totaled the percentage of the salaries pledged for one year and multiplied by 50,000. I only added up percentages for one year. So over a lifetime, it is much, much more. I only did it for a year because otherwise I'd have to factor in inflation, which was too much work for this quick total. Total: $475,000
5) Special Donations. I assumed an average income of 70,000. Total: $5833
If you have any other questions about how this was added up/broken down. Give me an e-mail.[/list][/list] |
