Make a donation to Seti and you get one that lasts a year.
The link to donate is on the home page under the "Participate" column.

You can also donate by cheque or M/O by using this form

It is also possible to donate and remain anonymous (i.e. no green star) through your Preferences page.

Since the prospective donors are from Britain and Australia, things are not that simple. It will have to be an international money order or a wire transfer. For the later, you will need to contact Seti Berkeley via the e-mail link to get the routing and account number. Costs about 15 Euros in Germany and Austria. Silver Surfer was going to try it, I don't know if he has.
Hope that helps

I never knew that there was such an additional cost to sending a philanthropic donation from outside North America into the U.S. (From Canada, it’s simply a matter of getting a M/O adjusted to U.S. funds.)

That sounds like highway robbery to me. Banks and governments are getting wealthy off of your good intentions. . .:-(

True, but they want to cover their overhead. One way I just thought about might be a travellers check. Worth looking into, might be cheaper way to go, if Berkeley is willing to take them. I personally don't see why not.

Just had a look at my banks website and they charge £20 for sending money to an overseas account.

Plus no doubt they would also rip me off changing £ to $ too...

If you have a UK bank account, don't you have some sort of cashpoint card or debit card?

Anything with the Visa or Mastercard symbol on it will do - it doesn't have to be a credit card. My Nationwide BS debit card even got me a green star with no handling fees at all, and no loading on the exchange rate either.
