I love the idea of a fundraiser, and increased awareness of the methods to donate. People are forgetful, and the Support SLU is discreetly placed, drawing attention to it will probably increase donations.
Could even have a fundraising party in world! Just a plain old tip jar would do the trick while we mingle and frolic

This makes sense, having a benefit of being "premium" (please forgive any comparison) perhaps something like requiring a paid subscription to post to certain threads.
