MOO cards might be more affordable than postcards. Maybe if you got 10 people to go in on an order of 100 cards, with all the contributors getting 10 cards each? I am signing up to do an altar, and I would be all over that idea.

Moo Cards, or Mini Cards, are like business cards but half the size. They're double-sided - a picture on the front and text on the back. You can download your LJ icons, or any other pictures you want, or choose from their database of pictures. You can order 100 cards for $19.99 (when I posted the suggestion, I thought they still had the sale going on). You can use up to 11 different pictures, up to 6 lines of text, they let you pick out the fonts and colors, etc.
They sell other things too - stickers, greeting cards - and everything can be personalized. I find it to be really cool.

Well the idea is actually that you leave postcards when you install the altar and people who happen upon the altar can comment on them and send them in- and their comments get scanned in and end up on the website-
I found an online printer that does 1500 full sized cards for about $75 which is LOTS less than local printers, so if I were to add that I just need to get a PO Box so that people could send them in.
I figure at about 15 cards a contributor/per altar an order of 1500 would not be crazy over the course of a year. I think for a b&w card, I can get it commercially printed at about 25 cents a card plus setup fees and whatever which would run in the area of $400 +/-. If donations come rolling in, (I have $186 to recoup for 2 years web hosting fee and domain registration via lunarhost with decent bandwidth allocation and to do a publishing project the setup fee is another $175 on a vanity press and they'd be sold close to cost with any profits to charity) so that's probably where that would come from because I don't want economic ability to block people from getting cards and I'm happy to pay the international postage or whatever to send them out of pocket
