I dont mean n00bs wanting money for startup, or people wanting to start a Faction, I mean actual organisations/people who try to make disco a better place for PLAYERS, not characters. E.G: some guy who.. I dunno, makes free sigs or something.
I know the Angels, but I dont see how they could need donations, as they only fly fighters, and are pretty much all veterans, and so -disco economy being the way it is- loaded. Still, I'll add them anyway as a first step.
So please, if you know such a charity/person in need of donations, please tell me about themnk them here. Please no personal panhandling, I need to know this for something I'm planning.
List Of Charities so far:
The Angels.

Check the new factions trying to get off the ground. I remember the crawl from unofficial, the clash in The Gauntlet when applying, then the slow build up afterward which will include an array of shared ships for efficiency and convenience.
Mind you, on second thought, having to go through all that is funner...
Well, if anything, one of the easiest ways to create a domino effect of activity is setting up trade deals buffed by credits from your pockets. This lures in the pirates (which can even be prodded too like a snowball down the hill) which in turn lures in the lawfuls. Well coached this gives a surprising amount of people something to do. Get the meaty tasty targets moving around and the rest starts fitting into place.
I could use another barge... I mean to set up and RP 'trading posts' in various systems that could ether use a barge to sell to or in places it can create a hub of activity (pierats wanting to shoot down a burge, traders wanting a selling point/buying point for ore/commodities)
I thought of setting up a non-profit barge in one far off desolate system for people to sell a particular commodity to at a decent price, like Nomad remains in the omicrons.
All flying under the flag of \\//\\// as part of my Weyland Yutani RP.
Last I heard the Angels were sitting on several billion. I really doubt they need it.
Either save it for when player bases come out. Then you can open one up and help trade factions by offering contracts or take your own suggestion and donate for some free sigs or somesuch.
The 81 Syndicate would like anything you could provide, we'd probably plop it in our shared bank and use it for bigger transports, share it with 101st and what not. But eh, we're not like actively SEEKING donations but if you would like to we'd appreciate it.
Well then no, there are no charities except for the Angels. Unless you convince someone to just now start one and post here claiming he helps noobs but will really steal the credits for himself.
I think you should start RPing someone who's buying things. Ask for commodities from across Sirius, no matter how esoteric or mundane they are, and pay handsomely for them. That's a sure way to attract people and give cash to the community. It even lets you build up roleplay if you like that style of RP.
Heck I'd love to set that up myself, but I don't have quite enough cash with Detroit Munitions soaking up all of my ship purchasing fund. Maybe once that gets more momentum Tales and Dab and I will do it for the Liberty area, but independent groups and Borderworlds groups need love too.
Quick edit: Set up a faction that is building something. Maybe a group of AIs assembling a dyson sphere or a station in a remote system. Or a person building a huge ship or funding a colony. Those things dump major cash and require tons of stuff to be delivered.
