Why should you donate to Cooking Allergy Free?


Why do we do this?

Cooking Allergy Free was started with the sole intention of helping others cope with the difficulties that food allergies present to so many. After experiencing how hard it was to find specific recipes that fit within an allergy profile, three close friends banded together to try and make it easier for others to find the invaluable information we think we've accumulated here. By no means was it ever intended to be a wildly profitable venture.


What would your donation go towards?

There's a lot of work and expenses that go on behind the scenes at Cooking Allergy Free. Every day we grow in users, recipes, message board posts, and countless other ways. All of this leads to increased bandwidth and increased storage requirements, which all have a cost of their own. Of course, each of these fixed costs doesn't include the considerable amount of time that each of us puts into the improvements to the look and feel of the site, the cataloging of new ingredients, monitoring of the discussion board, and the hands-on approach we have.


Your donation helps to subsidize the fixed costs of being a large web-presence, along with allowing us to focus more time on the site itself. We each have full-time jobs, and any donation, no matter how small, gives us even more incentive to put in the long hours after we return from our day jobs.


Either way, we're here for the long haul

Please understand, we love Cooking Allergy Free. For over a year we've poured our hearts and souls into the site, and are extremely proud of what we've accomplished. It's overwhelming to read the wonderful feedback in our discussion board and in your emails. Even if a small contribution is not in your budget, we understand. Please stick around and actively participate by entering recipes, taking photos, and always sending us your input! We'll be here for a long time, with or without donations!
