Patronage Reward Tiers

Members of the TuxDigital community that choose to subscribe to the TuxDigital Patronage will get the eternal gratitude of TuxDigital and also the benefits listed below. Each tier has their own specific set of benefits while higher tiers include all of the benefits of every tier below it.
The prefered platform for TuxDigital Patronage is Donorbox but you can also get Patronage Rewards via Patreon and PayPal contributions. Contributions through PayPal are included in the reward tiers but since they are not subscription based the duration of the Patronage is based on the yearly contributions of other methods.

Note*- PayPal is manual one-time contributions so automated patronage renewal is not available.
