I view this differently.  ARRL is a membership organization, CQ is a subscription.   There are more things that accompany membership than just a magazine.  No non-member should be able to dip back into those benefits.

CQ looks to charge for this service. You can only see the first 8 pages of any month without a subscription.
So it's not a free service from CQ.

My view would be that the appropriate “donation” is called membership. The appropriate amount is $49.95. The foundation does not print QST. ARRL does. So the appropriate destination is Member Services, Main Street, Newington.

Maybe in exchange for an appropriate donation to the foundation?

How would that look? If they were a member for a year, they are then entitled to only that year? Or if they have access to the archive page they would have ALL back issues. Which is one of our published member benefits.

A former member angrily complained that he should have access to past
issues, digitally during the time of his membership as he paid for
those issues. He opted out of print and let his membership lapse.

Pros and cons, and can it be done?

CQ magazine does this. If you subscribe and are no longer a subscriber
the issues are still yours to keep.
