In my opinion the money raised under the 1893 Foundation scheme should have been ‘ring fenced’ to increase the Manager’s playing budget which happens with the AberDNA and Ayr United fans fundraising scheme.
The Ayr United scheme is the best of the lot. It is the easiest to make a donation or set up a monthly subscription as the full details of the bank account are listed on the Ayr United Football Club website. https://au500fund.com/

Think the cash is needed urgently and ring fencing it might in this particular set of circumstances might actually be a hindrance. Everyone who donates knows that their cash is going straight in to help the club and the areas of greatest need will get help.

If the cash was urgently needed then the club should have set up a fans fundraising scheme similar to the Ayr United au500fund.com instead of waiting until two supporters put forward their own plans for the fundraising scheme.
I still think that the 1893 Foundation is missing a trick by not also accepting ‘one off donations’ from supporters.
The name of the account, sorting code, account number and IBAN number could be listed on the club website under ‘Fundraising’ for donations from supporters including those who live outwith the UK.

Don't think you should do both types of donation using 1893 Foundation as it is currently set up. Maybe have an alternative set of incentives for one off bigger donations but the pay per month is a great money raising concept, and has the potential to grow.

That is up to the management of Dundee FC to introduce both types of donations to the 1893 Foundation.
