I agree the process could be a lot better, but one thing I will point out:

I think the first two would be fine. The donations are are entered by hand by
the SPI treasurer, and they can certainly contact the person leaving the donation
if there is any question. However, our name is so unique that it is unlikekly
to be mistaken for anything else! :) I'm not sure how they would handle that last
case, but presumably, the money would be split 50/50 between the PG and Deb bucket.
What we really need to do is accept PayPal. Yes, people have issues with
them, they are Evil Incarnate, etc., but they are also the standard way of
moving money around via the Internet, and I can only imagine that we are
losing out of potential $$ by not including them. Using PayPal would also
get around the current problem, but allowing a "single click to pay by
credit card" option.
