The Adopt A Frog project was originally inspired by our folding brothers over at Short-Media. It is a project that consists of spare computer parts that are donated by members of the Folding Frogs. When enough parts are accumulated, the parts are sent off to a qualifying member to assemble, maintain, and fold, under team 734, for a cure.
Donating to the AAF Project is easy. When a new project is fixing to start, a thread is generally created informing the community of the upcoming project. You can post in the thread that you want to donate and list what parts you can spare. Alternatively, you can contact one of the Folding Moderators with said information via PM. Once a host is chosen, you can send your spare parts directly to the host via your prefered shipping method. If you have a multiple numbers of the same part you wish to donate (6 hdd's for instance) you can ship all of them at once to a moderator who will disperse them as the projects come up.
Monetary donations are accepted in different forms. You can donate by purchasing one of our cool case badges from our Case Badge Store, or you can send via PayPal, snail mail, or other means in the form of a money order or cash. Please contact a folding moderator for details.
