Once it's cleared for accepting funds/linked to the official
account/whatever, send me the Donate Now code I'll add it to the website
post-haste.

I've looked around, and yes: PayPal is perfect for collecting donations.

I've just pinged Gary on what needs to be done to actually enable our
paypalness.

I never thought of it that way - I like that idea. People have been
waiting for a way to donate. Which brings up the 'donate
now' idea.
We have the treasurer@osgeo.org address set up with PayPal. Is PayPal

a good way to collect donations or, does anybody know, if there is
something more designed for non-profits available?

I think somebody with the PayPal account access (I'd rather that this not be me) needs to create the donate code and then send it along to me.

These instructions seem pretty easy to follow:
