The main issue with that is Nokia taking an insane fraction of each payment/purchase. I heard sth like 30%, so it's really just for those who got no other means. Probably even sending traveler's checks in an envelope was a smarter method. BTW recurring donations seem pretty incompatible with purchasing an app to donate.
On a related topic: it would help a lot when you could add a remark to your donation about the time span this donation is meant to get splitted until your next donation will arrive. HiFo could estimate way better how much of the funds they got they may spend per month.

cheers and thank you to all donators
