Well, if you want to keep some control over destinations of the donations you could allow to earmark up to 50% of the donation. Or some other portion. And you could use the results of the earmarked donations at the end of the fundraising period to divide all of the donations in a likewise matter (or a major portion of the general donations). That could give at least a better view on where the people that supply the funds would like to see the efforts spend. -- Regards, Jean-Marc -- . ___ . @@ // \\ "De Chelonian Mobile" .
