The original plan was to have no donation raffle for 2013 but since Google AdSense banned us this put a huge hole in the BG budget. The plan for BG is still to keep a balanced budget which means we're not losing or making money from it. That being said we're still trying to cover our fees in a non-douchy way which is why Project Wonderful ads started popping on the site recently (which you can turn off).
