Some of us may not have enough ISK to donate a PLEX to the PLEX for Good: Philippines Typhoon Relief program.
Every little bit adds up, and it would be great if all Eve players donate whatever ISK they can easily spare.
One million ISK from each player would buy 800 PLEXes = $12,000 to the relief.
I know of 3 ways to donate smaller amounts, one of which I want to shamelessly plug.
1. Eve Radio accepts any amount of ISK which will be used to buy PLEXes for the program. Send ISK to: DJWiggles
2. VAERT does the same thing. Send ISK to: Vahrokh Financial Technologies [VAHFT]
3. Multiple Items Sale. Lets you donate small amounts by buying cool stuff. All proceeds to go towards buying PLEXes for the program.
Please donate whatever you can.

I Love Boobies wrote:Personally, I would only donate to CCP itself... don't trust 3rd parties with it, no matter how honorable they may be. Right person gets access to the ISK, bam... it's wasted.
Yes, if you can afford to donate a PLEX, it is best to contract it to CCP directly.
As it is not possible to donate smaller amounts directly to CCP, third parties are necessary. Scamming related to PLEX for Good is a permaban offense, and CCP will recover any scammed ISK.
It is in the interest of charity that players have different avenues to indulge in this voluntary activity.

Thomas Hurt wrote:Does CCP even realize that virtual currency will be of no use to Phillipinos in purchasing real-life goods and services? Apparently not.
For every PLEX donated, CCP will give $15 of real world money to Philippines. Not sure why you are suggesting that real world money will not help those in need?

Also would be nice to see official CCP respond.
I made the same post in the official PLEX for Good thread, and there are a couple of dev responses after my post, and evidence of CCP taking action against scammers.

Mate, I know this is Eve, but this is also charity, and we're all just trying to do what little we can.
I've already donated 13 PLEXes to this program, have 7 more lying at Jita to donate, and will hopefully donate at least 20-30 more once I've liquidated other assets.
Anyway, it is great that you trust VV, and hopefully so do others and I hope this trust results in donations via VV's VAERT.
I already plan to present an audit of my efforts, as mentioned in my Multiple Items Sale post. It would be great if you buy some of this stuff for charity, but I don't really care how you donate, just donate.
If trusting people is an issue, and you cannot afford a PLEX, set up a fund yourself to collect enough for a PLEX, get your corp and alliance mates to contribute, if you still cannot get enough for a PLEX, let me know and I will help.

Think there will be a button to donate directly to CCP during the PLEX for Good Charity Live Stream, thus best to donate directly.
Editing OP to reflect this development.

RAIN Arthie wrote:No I will not donate. you see I am an American. I for one am sick of playing captain save a hoe to people we don't know, when something happens. Our government only helps when it benifits them in some self serving way. People never help us therefore I do not feel emotionally obligated to help. The media has been pulling on the heart strings of everyone. Our allies have donated very little. Now, I am going to take my money that CCP wants me to donate and give it to a homless veteran. Take care.
This is a totally voluntary activity and CCP is not forcing anyone to donate.Your sentiments have been voiced many times by your countrymen during this drive, and during the last two drives, thus I understand your perspective. Glad that you're donating to the homeless; charity starts at home.
