We've recently (2 months ago, before the current tragedy) set up an ongoing charitable donation fund at work for Oxfam whereby the company doubles what individual employees donate (above their pre-existing charitable funding), the tax incentives are automatically dealt with, and money is transferred straight to the charity without unnecessary bureaucracy in-between.
I politely recommend anyone else working at decently sized/funded companies investigate doing something similar.

Yeah I imagine that a lot of companies will do this. I may take this up with our MD when we go back next week if it's not already "in planning" from management themselves.

when we all decide on how to do this, and when, I am supporting this. I can throw in $100 USD. Just tell me where to transfer the funds.

Hansie, thats mighty generous of you, we've already started chucking money into Zen-Chans Paypal account, this way at least the collecting has already started and it can be moved accordingly if a better solution comes up but until now please feel free to put it to Zen.
