what leo_draconis and others have done is ask that people donating forward/attach a receipt to verify the donation with personal identifying information blacked out. could you do the same so there's less work for the site admin? i don't know if they'd have the time to forward you lists of names.

I know that would be very troublesome, yet I would like to reduce the possibility of wrong transaction / misleading thought of making money through the notion of donation.

Yet it is also important to verfity those who have donated said money then send out the encouragement!gift...

Alternatively, they can send the money to my paypal account, then I forward the money to the site...but I believe this is not a good idea...

Any good suggestion?

It's a good idea, but might end up costing you more than you might want to pay. We have currently raised enough money for two full years--on the server we currently occupy. So we have a good long time to decide what will work to keep a steady flow coming in.

Actually this is an open gift, those who want it can just leave a comment and ask for one. If they are not interested, it is also okay.
