Refunds
For the last year or so, I have been lurking on this forum most days to keep track of MS4 development. The users of this forum are exceptionally patient and helpful. In particular, seeing the patience of certain users around repeated requests for refunds has been spectacular.
I have in mind Jojo-Schmitz, Jeetee, Shoichi and Marc Sabatella, but I'm sure there have been others. Thank you all for your efforts in this forum.
So, I started keeping track. Every time I saw someone asking for a refund in the last year, I put £1 aside. As of this post, there is £47 in that fund. That's at least 47 times someone has asked about a refund for a product that isn't sold by this website, and at least 47 times helpful volunteers have politely pointed them in the right direction.
As a thank you, I'd like to donate that money to charity, with the choice of that charity being up to whichever of the users listed above comments and/or private messages me their preference first.
Happy holidays everyone, and don't forget to check this FAQ: https://musescore.org/en/faq#faq-314712

That's a wonderfull idea!
Ha! A lovely thing to have done.
As far as good causes go, I'd vote to choose something either related to music or progamming, thus staying close to the nature of the MuseScore project itself.
Thanks for this wonderful idea - what a meaningful gesture!

Thank you faq-314712 for this gift . A heartening idea, there is no need to wait for Christmas to encounter generosity. I agree with jeetee, something that is connected to music, also maybe to children who approach it.
I found a few charities that might fit your criteria:
Music For All - improving access to music making
https://www.musicforall.org.uk/
Code Club - teaching kids to code
https://codeclub.org/en
Drake Music - leaders in music, disability and technology
https://www.drakemusic.org/
If any of those appeal, or if you have another suggestion, lmk.

Both Drake Music and Music For All align perfectly with the MuseScore vision and mission to make music available for all at a low cost.
