DUFF is supported by voluntary contributions from fans all over the world. DUFF delegates attend the Worldcon or a national convention in the host country and visit fans they might otherwise never meet in person. Delegates are responsible for raising funds and administering DUFF until a new delegate from their continent is elected and are expected to publish trip reports which can be sold to aid the fund.
DUFF exists solely on the donations and contributions of fans and fan organizations.
Please give generously. Anyone may contribute and donations in excess of the voting donation are gratefully accepted. Money should always be sent in the administrator's home currency. DUFF uses the preferential system of balloting to guarantee an automatic runoff and a majority win. This goes on until one candidate has a majority.
