Foregen-"I just donated" to an American 501(c)3 charity

[stillthrowrocks]

My idea, when you donate, post a message here letting us know. I find it encouraging hearing other people tell the community that they've helped out. Even if its a dollar, twenty, or five hundred.

I'll start: Last week, I donated $100. I've donated $345 so far.

[alphanorth]

Congrats. :)

Regularity is very good.

If you check over the financial records, we've raised $10 Grand in a little over six months.

Most fundraising efforts start out slow. It takes time to grow. Thanks for being part of that.

[Disillusionment_Personified]

For the past three or four months, I've been donating $100 every payday (1st and the 15th of the month). Can't say for sure if it'll make a difference in my lifetime, but I just keep telling myself that a little bit of faith might just go a long way this time.

[alphanorth]

:D:):cool:

My dear sir, you are indeed a treasure!

Thanks for caring dude, *high fives* I just hope one day thousands of people find out about foregen and donate and i'm doing my best to get them known.

[ieatsuka]

I didn't care that much about being rich before, but now I want to. If I was a billionaire I could fund this research and have it progress rapidly.

Yes ditto! I wanna find a rich guy and try and get him to donate or get rich myself to donate 189k!

+90$

Thanks dude!

[stillthrowrocks]

You guys are champs! I'm waiting for my tax refund to donate again :)

Also, on april 21st it will be a year since Foregen went online. I really hope we see some sort of update to the website or status.

Disillusionment,

I just wanted to say that your consistent, generous donations are amazing.

Thank you so much for your help,

[TylerVo]

I've donated to this organization as well. I'm thinking of donating $50 a month. By the end of the year, I'd donate a total of $600. There's no doubt that this medicine will be available in the near future. We live in the biotech society. We are no longer living in the industrial revolution.

That is just the way to go. I hope to be a regular donor as well when my circumstances improve.

BTW Foregen opened up its own forums, organic growth is like that. :D

Just so people know the show is moving stages. :)

It's funny i never thought placed like this exist until recently...I just donate $60 a few days ago. Hopeful we will get back what we lost soon.

[alphanorth]

Welcome, welcome welcome then! :)

Great to hear about your donation.

How did you find Foregen, if I may ask? I just want to know how the word is spreading. Internet search? Word of mouth? Ad somewhere?

I don't work for them, I just support them and have donated in the past. I hope to become a regular donor when my circumstances improve.

[Chronofusion]

Well one day i was thinking if they r doing any research to regenerate foreskins. I was googling it n found this form, on wiki n stuff.

[Marcus]

Add $50 to that.

[Chronofusion]

Add $50 to that.

nice:)

[Chronofusion]

I'm just curious are people who are donating also becoming supporters? I signed up as a supporter when i donated...I wonder if that will help our cause more.

[redwolfbear]

i wonder if their solution on the matter has anything at all to do with cloned
stem cell research?

only reason i ask is because the whoe matter of male circumcision for me is the biggest reason i got for rejecting the christian religion of my parents and their families and since cloned stemcell research goes against pretty much everything the christians and their religion have to say on the matter i cant think of a better possible way to have my circumcision reversed then by using some form of stem cell derived therapy asa way to have mine reversed over time and all the better if it gives me the opportunity to wave my middle finger in my parents and therir christian families faces as i tell them to keep their religion and fuck off.

[Chronofusion]

Redwolf. I'm guessing they use your own steam cells. So many clones steam cells from your self. I'm not really. They are still raising money to reach this goal, so I'm not exactly sure how they will reach this goal. Personally I really don't care as long as it doesn't involve hurting other people. I just hope we can get our foreskin back quickly:)

[alphanorth]

Everybody I have ever seen associated with Foregen has said that they wouldn't accept a therapy that involves harming others. Other than that the field is open but something that is comes from yourself is obviously attractive as a concept.

$50 from me.

Please do tell. Is there more to it? I can only echo Jim's concerns. I mean, $1.600? Honestly?

[Chronofusion]

Wow and jim.
He donates every paycheck. So 1600 would seem right. If he want to donate let him donate. Hes helping forege get closer to their cause. People want to support regeneative medcine for foreskin. Nothing more. Im not sure whatyour concerned about. Some people r bigger supporter than others

Ok, it's just that for most people 1.600 bucks is a lot of money. That sum should make him the single biggest donor by far.

Of course I can't speak for Jim, but I suspect that he and I both are looking at this from the angle that there is an arguable motivation for someone to simply report a donation here, to create the impression of greater than actual support, to help motivate other people to donate as well. No offense intended, just my natural overskepticism, I guess.

True. 1600 is alot of money for most people. Depends on their personal income. I guess. But when u donate small amounts at a time. It doesnt seem that much compared to donating a large sum. Im guessing y this forum was created to encourage more people to donate. Kind of like a donation meter. When People see others doing something they sometimes feel encourage to join in as well.Well total foregen donation is a bit over 15000. So just based on the forum he the biggest donor but not everyone reports their donations.

[w.o.f.]

When People see others doing something they sometimes feel encourage to join in as well.
Yeah, but you do get my point, don't you? This concept may give some people bad ideas. Or is each contribution claimed here counterchecked with actual incoming Foregen donations?

More importantly, what did alphanorth mean? Was his remark merely a shot in the dark?
We just call him Dick_Prime. :p

[Chronofusion]

I'm not sure how it would give bad ideas. I guess in a sense their no way to verify someone actually donated. I guess it bad if abused by people are lying about what they donate. I'm not sure in what way it be a bad thing

As for the dick prime maybe he like prime from the autobots who is the leader.

[Disillusionment_Personified]

Well total foregen donation is a bit over 15000.$16,000; and will be reflected as such as soon as they update the thermometer.

(I'll continue to donate on paydays, but I'll probably just keep those details to myself from now on.)

[Chronofusion]

$16,000; and will be reflected as such as soon as they update the thermometer.

(I'll continue to donate on paydays, but I'll probably just keep those details to myself from now on.)

Personally i think it kind of cool that you report each time you donate. That and it give activity to this forum. You don't have to feel discouraged to post based on what other say.

[w.o.f.]

I'm not sure how it would give bad ideas.
Well, I already explained it to you: By simply claiming donations here, someone may help create the impression that donating to Foregen is more fashionable than it really is, in an effort to get other people to donate as well.

That's why I asked whether all donations claimed here are counterchecked with actual incoming Foregen donations.

[Chronofusion]

Well anything can be bad. But sersiouly this thread rArely gets activity. Not many people post here. This is just word of mouth. And besides this is just a forum, could make more fashionable than it is if people r lying. But there not that many people on this forum.if they r suddly a ton of people who post and doest match foregen donation growrh weight than this is a problem. Oh i just remembered in terms of checking the validaity of donation i believe Ron post foregen transtiations on this site. I believe that includes donatations. So these post can be validated to an extendent. If people do want to do so

[alphanorth]

I'm not sure how it would give bad ideas. I guess in a sense their no way to verify someone actually donated. I guess it bad if abused by people are lying about what they donate. I'm not sure in what way it be a bad thing

As for the dick prime maybe he like prime from the autobots who is the leader.

Eesh, it was a kindly meant gentle joke about Disillusionment_Personified being such a regular donor. Dick Prime, Big Dick? In a forum about foreskins? That's why I put the smiley emoticon in. You'd think in a forum of men talking about penises it would be obvious.

People complain about Foregen not going anywhere, I like this thread because it proves otherwise. I just put in $50 myself.

Once I secure a steady job (darn recession) I hope to become a regular donor, though my plan is $50/month.

We could move this thread to the new Foregen forums, they are trying to separate the two efforts as Foregen has grown up, so to speak.

Don't go, Disillusionment_Personified, you are an example to us all. I try to encourage small, regular donations as it fits better with most people's circumstances and helps small donors turn into big ones.

[Chronofusion]

CF, if it is your intention to play the part of dumb ass, you're doing a splendid job. Your grip on facts and reality are tenuous at best.


I can see your as negative as always.


All I did was ask if my observation added up. It is evident that you're not all that bright CF, so let me lay it out for you... There were two distinct options. Either DP donated a larger sum of money, or he was just repeating that all he donated was $100. That lead me to ask my question. You're the one getting your undies in a bunch about that query.


There was only one option. He doantes 100 dollars from each paycheck as stated in this thread. not one lump sum.


Frankly I don't give a rats ass what DP chooses to donate. That is what free will is; freedom to make one's own choice. And I see no issue if he chooses to track his contributions here. If however, he is actually a Foregen employee trying to amp up contributions with false claims (and of course the operative word here CF; now pay attention; is IF) then I have an issue with the whole gambit.


If you don't care don't ask. If your a pro-circ person. I can see how it worry you that people might be able to get their real foreskin back. Key word if


People send in thousands to TV preachers. It is their money. I think they're being deceived, but if they're happy, why should I care? :rolleyes:


So now your comparing foregen to some religious group? It a group that wants to push foreskin regeneration through regenerative medicine. nothing more. OR are you going simply state that what you have placed down is a random fact that has nothing to do with anything.

[w.o.f.]

it was a kindly meant gentle joke about Disillusionment_Personified being such a regular donor
Ah, ok. I apparently misread the "dick" part as referring to something else entirely (http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Don%27t_be_a_dick). My bad.

[marwenlou]

I donated 50 bucks a month ago. I should go on their website to see how much has been donated.

[w.o.f.]

So now your comparing foregen to some religious group?
Well, some of you react to any skepticism and criticism of the concept as though your messiah has been insulted.

[Chronofusion]

Enough. Responded by PM.

Chronofusion, you bring to this forum what creationists bring to education.

I for one would love to see a completely different website where Foregeners can post to their hearts desire about their fantasies.

The greatest value we can achieve from THIS website is to continue Intactivism; and do our level best to end RIC quickly. Second, provide support and encouragement to current methods of regrowing ones foreskin.

Still being negative. Seriously this is the regenerative medcine forum. Stop calling it a fantasy. I dont care if u dont believe. But dont insult those support the idea of regeneration. Regenerative medcine is a field of study. Wth the purpose of regenerating bodyparts. Foreskin is also Part of the body and consist more than inner and outter skin. Foregen just wants to apply regenative medcine to foreskin. If you have a better idea how this can be accomplished wthout foregen, ill like to hear it.

Yes stop ric but also look for better methods of foreskin restoration(ie regeneration) n not just settle

[Chronofusion]

Ill like to note im well aware that foregen does not conduct the study themself and are middle men between us and research companies.

[Chronofusion]

Well, some of you react to any skepticism and criticism of the concept as though your messiah has been insulted.

When people support something regardless of what it is,those people dont like it when other people criticize it. It doesnt have to be relgious in nature. It could be anything.

[Chronofusion]

CF, you bring to this forum what creationists bring to education.

I guess u have nothing useful to say afterall. Sad. Well wish u the best of luck in life

[w.o.f.]

When people support something regardless of what it is
That's quite the definition of fanaticism right there, you aware of that?

[Chronofusion]

That's quite the definition of fanaticism right there, you aware of that?

so just because one doesnt like critizism on things one supports than its an automatically becomes fanaticism, an extreme intolerance for opposing views.
I guess if thays the case well all fanaticism in one aspect or another.

We should carefully differentiate between criticism and derision.

Deriding something another person supports and believes in is of course unacceptable.

But: There are many valid criticisms regarding foreskin regeneration and especially the belief that it will become available at any point within the next ten years.

Not wanting to hear and consider valid criticisms, that yes, that is very much unhealthy fanaticism.

Foreskin regeneration is one thing certain people believe in and support. Even if it is you say wont not aviaible within 10 years, just because its not doesn't mean we shouldn't attempt to make any progress today. 10 years is a long time anything can happen within the time frame. Peoples beliefs on this subject isnt based on Fanatasy as some people may believe, but an observation on whats has already been done. N I really dont think foreskin regeneration is as complicated than what has already been done. I believe it would be alot easier. Of course this is my opinion, one doesnt have to agree based on my supporting reasoning, and i dont have to agree based the counter calms based on ur supporting reasoning

There are two sides to this argument, because of this. Im sure what one sides believes is valid is not valid to the other side and vis versa. When people believe it can be done, based on their obserativation, and are told it cannot be done based on those peoples obserations. There is an obvious conflict.We hear the criticism, we just dont like what we hear. I dont believe that a person who believes person critisim is invalid automaticaly suggest their fanaticism. This is a good(and at the same time bad) thing about being human, we have different believes and have our own reasoning for our own beliefs and experiences. In this case, we're opposing factions.

But hey in the end, maybe u'll be right, or maybe we'll be right. Science is always advancing that for sure. Time will tell in the end.

[w.o.f.]

Time will tell in the end.
True that. I guess all I'm saying amounts to something along the lines of this:

If you have 200 bucks to spare, and you're a supporter of foreskin regeneration, go ahead and donate 100 bucks. But consider doing yourself a gigantic favor and spend the other hundred bucks on a TLC-X.

People who actively restore, and also happen to be supporters of foregen, fine by me. But anyone who pins all his hopes on foreskin regeneration and holds off on traditional restoration should know that it'll be years, which could be spent restoring the old-fashioned way and enjoying a far increased sexlife while waiting for foreskin regeneration to come around.

Hey sry for the typos: ill try to fix it later. My phone doesnt let me scroll up/down when replying

an excellant point indeed. Everyone should know what they are giving up while waiting, and how long it might will take. The one thing i am worried about is that there could be possible complications with restoring and regeneration, If any. unfortuantely since regeneration on the foreskin hasnt been done, we dont know. The Only one i can think of is the possiblity thay we'll have longer than normal foreskin after the excess skin is removed. Or maybe itll be uneven. Well it all depends on how it is done.

[Chronofusion]

Jim. That is very interesting. Yeah i heard of salamanders regenerating, it a shame we lost his ability as we get older. I need to check that book out when i have some free time. Im really hoping for true regeneration too. Hopefuly someone discovers the capabilities of unlocking this potental in humans. Was limb regeneration done on small or large mammals? For massive wounds does Becker mention how the subject is prevented from bleeding out from a massive wound? Is it mentioned how long the regenative process last?Yeah its pretty clear that ur referring to onsite regeneration n not transplant(lab grown) tissue.

Im using an iphone 3gs. Its get annoying because when im typing it like a jump around kind of hard to select/edit previous words. Oh yeah and sometime the keyboard(virtal) closes at time. Random windows popping up(bookmarks) I primarily use my smart phone when i'm at work during downtime, and when im away from a pc.

Thanks Porco.Rosso,

Really just posted to bump this thread up a little so hopefully other members (5079 active members on this forum) who don't know about foregen might spot this.

It was INeedAForeskinTransplant who thinks a lot of members aren't aware of foregen, he mentioned it in this post (http://www.foreskin-restoration.net/forum/showpost.php?p=69535&postcount=145).

I've actually joined foregen as a supporter (so $50 a year) to find out more about their current progress and make a contribution at the same time.

[Porco.Rosso]

Allright, keep us aware of what is going on now that you can see the real progress of foregen through your subscription.

Others, like myself (I'm a student), don't have enough money to be able to donate 50$.

[atfman]

how it is to subscribe?
It is marked anywhere this story of subscription?
It is for 1 year?

The link is http://www.foregen.org/participate/become-a-supporter/

Subscribe through the "subscribe" button via paypal.
Cost is $50 per year (you can cancel at any time via paypal).
This gives you access to foregen forums and news not available to the general public, and will also go towards the donation fund.

[atfman]

Thank you.
I had not seen.
I subscribed now

[Porco.Rosso]

If a little more than 3600 circumcised men were to subscribe, the fundraising goal would be met.
I wish all circumcised people knew about foregen.

[Porco.Rosso]

What I propose is just to put foregen on your signature on any forums you go.
Just like I did below. I think it is a great way to do harmless advertising. :)

[alphanorth]

Just donated $50.

That is very much appreciated. I'm just a guy who has donated a few bucks and reads these threads but I appreciate people such as yourself. Thank you.

From what I understand Foregen is at the same place as a local charity construction project: they need money before they can pay for work. Researchers pay attention to money (understandable).

I want to join as an official supporter in the next few months.

[INeedAForeskinTransplant]

Agreed. Good job, both of you, Alphanorth and Porco.Rosso! I'm really hoping to donate soon!!! :)

PS. Porco.Rosso, how were you able to put that link in your signature? I tried for like 40 minutes to get it to work in mine, and couldn't. Very frustrating. :mad:

Does it really change the amount of info we get ?

[circedasanadult]

Does it really change the amount of info we get ?

Yes, the public forums are now locked, but if you sign up as a supporter you get access to the private supporters forum. Popular topic at the minute is about an advertising campaign that's due to start soon.

So if your looking at donating in the future, try to get $50 if possible so you get access to this information and have some input on the supporters forum.

The forums are nowhere near as active as this forum but you have to remember that the forums on foregen are for foregen related topics only, whereas this website covers every aspect of circumcision, progress galleries, restoration methods, intactivism etc.

The more supporters that join, the more active the forums become, if you look at the foregen blog, you'll see that theres been quite a few new supporters added this month.

Yes, just checked the latest topics, and they're providing information of the 501 charity status application, discussion on the possible techniques they'll be looking at, letting people know about website problems recently encountered (remember the donation bar went missing recently) etc.

[Porco.Rosso]

Ok I'll make sure to subscribe then. :)

Is there a way to donate anonymously? I tried to donate but I was asked even for my adress, I just want to give money..

This was a concern of mine too.
Vincenzo (the president of foregen) asssured me that they dont release this information to anybody at all.

If you are going to donate $50 or more, I would recommend you sign up as supporter here as this gives you access to a private members forum - http://www.foregen.org/participate/become-a-supporter/

[Mike11]

Is there a way to donate anonymously? I tried to donate but I was asked even for my adress, I just want to give money..

I know for sure that they ask your address only if you enroll to their foregen forum, and i think this is reasonable.They want to know who you are.

[Porco.Rosso]

Is there a way to donate anonymously? I tried to donate but I was asked even for my adress, I just want to give money..

Yes, I think you can donate money anonymously.
By the way, welcome to the foregen supporter community. :)

[Chris]

Registering as a supporter is a good idea as it gives you access to the private forum. I registered as a supporter and I am glad I did. Foregen is very transparent as a supporter because you can interact directly with the president of the organization. He is there to answer questions, give feedback etc.

I need to configure my paypal account first in order to be able to make an annual donation.
I'm growing more and more impatient to become a supporter !

When I registered I don't remember setting anything up for annual payments, it was a while ago though so my memory could be wrong. I don't know how it will work, maybe when my next payment is due they will just lock my account until they receive the payment. If your anxious about registering as a supporter you could try right now.

Porco, I'm not sure what you mean by "configure" regarding your paypal account.

When you "subscribe" through the Foregen site, everything's dealt with behind the scenes by paypal, if you don't have the $50 dollars in the account it will take it from your linked bank account / debit card / credit card.

When I first subscribed I had nothing in the account so although I was registered on the Foregen supporters site from the day I signed up, I couldn't access the private section of the site until paypal took the money from my bank account and then transferred this over to Foregens account.

I have to send a paper to my bank in order to send money to my paypal account.

I just donated $500! Feels good, man. Now we'll be 12.5% of the way there...!

If you haven't donated yet, I encourage you to do so. I'll admit that a part of me was very hesitant at parting with all that cash (and I was put off by faffing about with a PayPal account :P) but I feel so much better now, and I wish I had donated a lot sooner.

I tried to donate the other night and it told me to use another card. I've donated with the card in the past and it's good. Don't know what's up with that.

You may want to check with paypal to see what's going on. Paypal is the payment processing company that Foregen uses, so it's probably a problem with paypal and not Foregen.

I know that paypal has an upper limit to how many dollarin transactions you can make with them unless if you "activate" your account, then its unlimited.

I just donated less than a minute ago. It wasn't much but I wanted to help what I could afford.

There's no doubt that this medicine will be available in the near future. We live in the biotech society. We are no longer living in the industrial revolution.

This statement is so true. Even the WWII era was in a way part of the industrial revolution, the very end of it. WWII was the apex of industrial warefare, ever since then things have become more automated and electronic, even in Korea.

So because the industrial revolution was not that long ago society still has a lot of the same attitudes and perceptions. But the world is now biotech and things are different than they were even just a few decades ago.

I donated $100 about a week ago.

[twalsh341]

Just donated $100 last night. Then I became a supporter member and donated another $50 today. I'm now trying to get more actively involved to make a difference in more than just $$$.

[Cresaiyan]

Hey :)

I donated 25 dollars last saturday. Right this moment, I have donated $50 in becoming a supporter! I should mark it on a calender :D

[Chris]

Your donation means just as much as anybody else's. If you don't have a lot of money it does not matter, you did what you can and that's what counts. If a few thousand people did what you did, Foregen would collect the donations they need.

I second that! I firmly believe that Foregen is now exponentially picking up steam. The more $1 donations, the better!!!!!!

[jd1990]

A few weeks back I subscribed which included a donation of $50, overall... I have donated $100! every little helps :)

[StemCellMan]

Everyone keep donating! $35,000 by the end of July is an achievable goal!

[Cresaiyan]

I already posted intentions, but I need to confirm them. +$90 here.

[random1]

Donated $20 here from Australia

[Crunchie]

Seeing this thread motivated me to donate $200. Awesome stuff.

I swear that foregen's received more than $4000 since the start of May. That's really incredible - at this rate we should hopefully hit the $35,000 mark by the end of July.

Everybody keep donating, no matter how much or how little. It all adds up.

[random1]

I donated $30! :)
:p

[alphanorth]

I remember when it was just an inkling in Enzo's mind and there was a lot of doubt and naysayers. Three cheers for Enzo (and his helpers) who kept going and three cheers for all the donors.

The best thing about small donors is that it is creates a robust base that can donate repeatedly. :)

[random1]

Hip-Hip, Horray Enzo!

Foregen has received $30,200 out of $35,000 from now! The deadline is $35,000 in July :O

The plan is to use these funds to fund their summer experiment! They updated the meter and all.

I am on youtube under 'foreskinabirthright', and I made some comments about foregen. :)

[Forewin1]

so what's this experiment? guessing it's not full regeneration but maybe something that could help in the long run?

[GoodMourning]

so what's this experiment? guessing it's not full regeneration but maybe something that could help in the long run?

Forewin,

My understanding is that this is will be a proof of concept experiment that will demonstrate that the theoretical science is sound, and will then be shopped around to other laboratories/universities to further the research and do human trials.

Enzo has signed a non-disclosure agreement regarding the actual concept until lab work has been done, so I don't know the specific method that will be used.

For the latest info you should register for the Foregen boards. It's 50 dollars for a year and goes towards the donation count.

[Slu27]

just donated

when is the quickest way to get a surgery?

we should try to get celebrities in on this

[twalsh341]

You are welcome :) That's sounds good.

[Cresaiyan]

Another $100 :D

[Cresaiyan]

+ $20 more! I really want this to work.

[airpud]

Just to double-check. Donations to Foregen can be tax write-offs?

Because that is where it can get interesting. A lot of people can donate without losing anything. It would go to Foregen instead of the taxman. Next April would be big!

[alphanorth]

I'm not an American, but Foregen is now registered as a charity under US tax law, so your payment is an official "charitable donation".

Second, the overhead of Foregen is negligible. Some charities, especially big ones, have a (questionably) large percentage of fundraising go to internal costs like staff salaries. Sometimes this take is so big it's scandalous.

Foregen doesn't have that problem.

[Scarz]

$100 from me :) Will be doing more!

[random1]

Sorry guys, it was actually End of July that was the dateline of the donations, not June.

I fail... so much :o

34,182 out of 35,000

[siog]

Keep up the good work guys.
It sound more and more plausible we will have this "cured" in the near future as opposed to what previously was doubted to be in our lifetime.

[roostorf]

Just donated $26! not much, but wanted to help, seems so close to the goal.

[Scarz]

$34,869 now! $131 more!

[Element786]

Great news! I wonder what the procedure will be, that they're testing? I remember someone saying the guy in charge of Foregen wasn't allowed to give details yet, because he signed some non-disclosure agreement. I wonder why?

[alphanorth]

$35, 570. WE DID IT!!! :D

Anyway, in most of the world except the US, patent law is based on "first to publish", not "first to invent". The non-disclosure agreement protects the developer's interest in possible patents resulting from their work. Standard Operating Procedure.

[roostorf]

I'm so excited the goal was met, I was getting really tempted to donate my rent money because we were so close yesterday. I have been posting in the Rants & Raves on my local craigslist trying to raise awareness of foregen and get support/donations, I also have sent a few emails to random weird celebrities like Daniel Tosh (i dont know why I just get the impression he likes uncut cocks) hopeing to get some sort of publicity. All its gonna take is more people finding out about it and it's potential benefits.
