 * Hi,
 * Can I put a WordPress donate link on my website and redirect that link to here:
   [https://wordpressfoundation.org/donate/](https://wordpressfoundation.org/donate/)
 * I just want to increase awareness among people to donate in this great software.
 * Thanks 🙂

 * You could but honestly, please don’t. Really. 😉

 * If you want to increase awareness why not consider writing a blog post on your
   site? (If you do, don’t share it here.)

 * Why? Is there any problem or violation of WordPress guidelines?

 * For a couple of reasons. First this:
 * > Can I put a WordPress donate link on my website **_and redirect that link_**
 * Why redirect? That’s (and I am not judging you! Honest!) is some dodgy behavior
   used by some dodgy people in the past.
 * If you want to plainly put a link on your site to go to the donate page, feel
   free.
 * If you wand to do some redirection, please don’t. It’s a tracking tactic that
   has been abused in the past.
 * Second reason: I’m confident that the WordPress Foundation does not need a fund
   raiser. 😉 But if you want to write about WordPress, if you want to share on 
   your site (not here) how it’s benefited you and others then that _may be_ more
   effective.

 * Sorry for the misunderstanding. Actually I also mean to plainly put a link on
   the site to go to the donate page.
 * Thanks for the information. 🙂
