I'm currently tasked with soliciting donations and pledges from my FC members so we can have enough cash on hand to buy a housing plot when it becomes available. I've been thinking about various ways to handle this, so I'm curious what other FCs are doing.

Do you just have a few people who are going to cover the entire cost out of pocket already?
Is everyone in your FC going to be obliged to contribute a share?
Are you doing any kind of FC fundraising events, like auctions or raffles?
How are you keeping track of the funds raised so far?
Do you have any concerns about the GMs accidentally flagging you for RMT activity with money changing hands?

Thanks for the feedback.
