Wanted to make a suggestion on giving donations. What I have in mind is a means of better ensuring that the donation is used for the purpose intended, as well as the ability to anonymously donate to people or projects. The small donation boxes are fine for small donations, but for donations in the thousands, a few built-in functions would, I think, encourage more donations, and make those who fund projects regularly more comfortable.

Sometimes you don't want the person to know you're it's you who's donating. e.g. On UI, select resident's name from a list, enter amount to be donated, yes/no button to confirm amount, amount transferred. A small space to put a comment would be good too, e.g., "Enjoy!" or "To help your XYZ project."

If you could also indicate where you want the money to go, e.g., land taxes, object taxes, that would be great. It would simply act as a credit on the resident's/group's account. You could also indicate if you just wanted the money to go into the person/group's account to be used as they wish.

It would be great to be able to indicate how many weeks to spread the amount over, e.g. $4,000 spread over 1 week would give the entire amount to the person/group immediately. Or indicate 8 weeks to give them $500/week for 8 weeks.

Thanks,
Candie
