Donations to a non-profit is a good idea. The C&TS charters were the only ones where someone offered me a donation, and I suggested they send it to the Friends instead. A worthy local cause makes sense, too, especially on a private-sector line like the D&S.
I doubt that it would ease any tension that might exist, however. You know the old saying:
There are two types of people in this world - those that think there are two types of people in this world, and everyone else.
If a charter participant is bothered by someone not paying, a partial donation isn't going to change their mind. (Actually, those folks need a hobby, to ease all that stress from worrying about the chasers.)
