How do you know you can't raise the money unless you ask? I don't know how many players there are, or how much any single player could/would donate, but if you set a concrete goal (like 10,000$) you *might* be surprised. I buy PBF's, which I know isn't a lot of money, and I have always *meant* to donate before, but without a solid goal or idea where my money is going, it is less... urgent. That's why I said we should get someone to get an estimate on what the work would actually cost and let us know. I know I'd be more likely to donate larger amounts if I knew they were going directly to generating a larger player base. Also, I'd have concrete signs of my investment, namely ads, that would alleviate some of the throwing money away feeling. Also, how much is it worth to me to have more noobs with newbie breadz for me to pwn? Priceless.
