Gimana komunitas indozone mau ikut bantuin para korban gempa dan gelombang tsunami di aceh nga? kasihan saudara2 kita disana

gimana mau bantu thor? kalo mau kirim uang lebih baik kirim masing2. anggota indozone tempatnya terpencar. masa dananya mau dikumpulin dulu di satu tempat? kelamaan dong. juga abis buat biaya transfer. apalagi kebanyakan kan udah di indo. tinggal kirim dari sana lebih cepat.

setuju boss!
banyak factornya, jadi mungkin lebih baek donate masing2 ke organisasi2 yg kita seneng/percaya....

iya juga sih....
gua sendiri udah, tapi mungkin indozone mau jual barang sesama member atau apa lah yang nanti hasilnya langsung buat donate kesana.

misalnya jual buku bekas, cd lama, atau apa aja koleksi para member yang udah lama dan mau dijual tapi masih layak dijual dan pakai. jual aja ke sesama member. promosi atau etalasenya di indozone, trus hasilnya trans ke pemilik barang. nah terserah pemilik mau donate semuanya atau sebagian. ya ini masalah kepercayaan aja kalo uangnya pasti di donate. tapi gua percaya komunitas indozone cukup care. ya ini sekedar usul. syukur di terima.

lebih baik umumkan saja rekening sumbangan yg resmi di sini. kalo memang berniat nyumbang yah nyumbang langsung ke sana.
biasanya kan ada dompet gempa, something like that.

kelamaan toon bikinnya. blom dipotong biaya buat service. padahal hal yang sama bisa dilakukan sendiri.

misal paypal: toon --> bank indo (biaya) --> paypal (biaya) --> indozone --> paypal (biaya) --> red cross.

mendingan: toon --> red cross.

maksud gue, kita ikutin saja official account number yang udah ada.
bukannya mo buat sendiri. ngapain coba buat sendiri, paling dana yg terkumpul seberapa sih ?
That's what I suggested Actually ( Toon ----> red cross or Toon----> Dompet gempanya RCTI, dsb).
so you might misunderstand what I meant.

ooohh icic iya post di sini gpp.

Utk di US, ..kalo kita donate ke organisasi yg diakui oleh pemerintah, kita bisa potong amount itu dr income tax /pajak kita.
Jadi kalo jumlah income tax rate kita 50%, maka sebetulnya kita dapet credit 50% dr pajak.....jadi net nya cuma 50%.......
Umumnya di US org pada donate tiap thn. Tentu nya tiap org punya favourite charity sendiri2 yg kita donate.
Menurut pilihan saya sih utk disaster ini adalah red cross, tp pasti organisasi laennya juga banyak yg ok.

Linkin Park have donated $100,000 ..and together with the Red Cross have formed a new charity to help the victims of this disaster, Music for Relief
