- The Repository is entirely funded by community support, so let's talk about the perks for joining the Patreon! I'm touching up the reward schedule today so it's a perfect time. There are three membership tiers: $1/month Tip Jar $5/month Be in the Know $10/month Show Me All the Cute Animals

- The Tip Jar Patreon tier is exactly what it sounds like! Joining donates $1 a month (or more if you want!) to supporting the site. Members at this tier get general project updates and the occasional special look behind-the-scenes. www.patreon.com/249147/join
- If you'd like to know what coming next on the Repository, and what cool photos have been taken recently, the Be in the Know tier is for you! At $5 a month you'll get a weekly new species announcement (before they drop) OR a sneak preview of new photos. www.patreon.com/249147/join
- To choose the next species for the Repository and see cool animal videos, you can join the aptly-named Show Me All The Cute Animals tier. At $10 a month, you get to vote a twice-monthly poll to choose Priority Species for the site - and an exclusive video every month. www.patreon.com/249147/join
- I ran out of space in the skeets, but of course, all of the higher level tiers get the perks of the lower level tiers too! Is there anything else you'd like to see the Patreon offer? I'm always taking suggestions.
