Hey EVE forums, (first post, w00t),

A bit of background: I help run a program for the HERO Coalition on behalf of Dropbears Anonymous called STAHP (Sleeper Tears Appreciation and Harvesting Partnership). We help our coalition members (often in BRAVE Collective) learn about wormholes both theoretically and practically by doing fleet Sleeper ratting in C3 & C5 holes where available and wormhole PvP throughout.

Normally, our fleets have an internal loot sheet document with estimated payouts for each member based on their sites completed, total loot gathered, and so on, but in light of the recent PLEX for GOOD drive, I thought it'd be a great idea to have at least some of our fleets in the coming days have the entirety of their proceeds go towards PLEX for GOOD to contribute to the cause.

These fleets tend to stage out of null-sec, and as such moving the Sleeper loot and monetizing it is sometimes a challenge, though thankfully I think we've yet to lose loot en route to high-sec as far as I know.

At any rate, as I said, for all loot gathered under this "STAHP for Good" initiative, I'd like to have 100% of the ISK made by selling loot to buy orders in trade hubs (likely Amarr or Jita) to be donated. Either directly as PLEX, through Chribba as bulk donations, or through the BRAVE Collective drive under Cagali Cagali and the Brave Dojo.

I already have the approval of my CEO, and the FCs under my department sound happy to donate their time. This is my first time organizing such a thing, so any input would be appreciated, especially on behalf of the Community Team with their approval.

Edit: To-date, we've made ~100 Billion over the lifetime of the program, so we've been doing this for a while and have experienced community organizers. This is just the first time we would be donating proceeds versus paying out to fleet members.
