I am ready to donate myself. Just wanted to make sure first, there would be no problem converting my USD to Euros?

On a more topical note, Yes, it is perfectly legal and viable to offer 'gifts' in return for donations. Have seen it done succesfully on other websites, using non-profit items as the 'gifting materials'. Would need to check and see, if store merchandise can also be 'gifts', but it seems logical to allow that also. A homepage scrolling ticker can show who's donated. An option should be included to the participants, to remain anonymous, or allow public view in the ticker window.

One effective stratagy is to give medals under members avatars, for doing specific community tasks, or volunteering, etc.

Does anyone know about Simtropolis.com's, yearly Trixie Awards ceremony?

@Saccade: I like your ideas and desire to make Abandonia more appealing. You are on the right track friend.
