Club GreenSock
It's my goal to provide incredible value to the Flash community, and that includes how I handle donations. So when you donate $25 or more, you automatically become a member of Club GreenSock which comes with benefits. The more you give, the more value you get (see the chart below for specifics). Feel free to donate any amount, though. Even $5 is sincerely appreciated.

How does it work?
Click the "PayPal Donate" button above and you'll be directed to a secure site where you decide how much you'd like to donate. Pay with credit card, bank transfer, or whatever method is available to you through PayPal. Once I get confirmation of your payment (usually within 24 hours), I'll e-mail you the bonus class files. Your membership lasts for 1 year and is NOT automatically renewed. Oh, and giving is cumulative over the course of a year, so if you can only afford a "Green" membership initially and later want to give more to upgrade to a "Really Green" membership, you can.
Work for a Corporation?
If multiple developers at your Corporation are benefiting from one or more of the classes regularly, a $100 per developer donation is encouraged. Corporate donors receive the same benefits as "Shockingly Green" members (bonus classes, discounts, update notifications, etc.). When you make a donation, please mention "corporate sponsor" in the comments field.
Satisfaction Guaranteed
If you're not 100% satisfied with the value you receive, I'll gladly refund your donation.
Turnaround time for answering class-related questions is not guaranteed and may vary slightly based on my availability. I have made it a habit to exceed expectations (as my clients and coworkers can attest), so rest assured that I'll do my best to do the same for you.

Great idea, Jack.
Hopefully this will keep everyone happy - I just donated $150.
TO EVERYONE ELSE:
Please take a second to think about how screwed you would be if TweenLite/TweenMax wasn’t around or Jack stopped updating and fixing it.
Remember this is just one man’s work - there is no big company behind this.

Jack,
I’m enthusiastically in for “Shockingly Green” my friend. Glad to see you offering ways to monetize your work with extras, while simultaneously not precluding the poor geeks from using the core classes. How enlightened of you, in a Prince/Radiohead/NIN kind of way :)
Congratulations on expanding the TweenLite family to include the powerful new TweenMax. I anxiously await the release of your future endeavors (*mumbles under breath, in subconsciously hypnotic tone* “particle class for under 5k, Jack, particle class for under 5k, you greatly desire to develop a powerful particle class for under 5k!”)
Three forest green cheers for the world’s favorite benevolent class developer!

I am a designer who has been hacking my way through flash for years now. I have designed/developed multiple projects professionally, using all the various tween engines from the built in class to Tweener, Fuse and most recently TweenLite/TweenFilterLite. Of all those packages I like TweenLite and Tweener the best. Packages like this make it possible for me to do my job. I am going to donate but I want to know if there is an upgrade path available, in other words if I donate $50 now (all I can afford at the moment) can I donate more later to upgrade my membership?

Great question, Aaron. Yes indeed, donations can be cumulative over the course of a year, so feel free to come back and donate more to get to the next membership level. Thanks for the donation! I really appreciate it.

I didn’t even realize that by going Shockingly Green I’d be getting all these nice bonus classes- can’t tell you how useful they’ve been!
Come on people, we need to buck up for at LEAST $150, this is a steal of a deal for this man’s hard work that will save you countless hours, days, even months of frustrating development time!
Think about how pwned you’ve been paying thousands for a CS3 package that can’t shortcut you to any ends like what these great classes do! The more you support Jack, the better YOUR projects will be, for way less than the cost of half of flash, and the more he’ll keep releasing!
Keep up the good work Jack, and we’ll continue to support you!

Excellent work Jack! I have been using flash/flex on and off for about 6 years and had been a big fan of tweener. But more recently, I came accross a demo doing full screen zoom/pan and it was smooth as silk. Sure enough, it was using TweenLite!
After doing some more research, checking the various performance comparisons and trying the libraries out for myself I was more than happy to go shockingly green!
Great value for such an awesome set of components!

I just got an amazing new job as a partial result of building some badass projects using TweenLite. It wouldn’t have been as quick or smooth without it. So, come next paycheck.. I’m going all kinds of Green!
Thanks for doing and loving what you do!
