I've already got the Paypal account worked out, at least in preliminary, I'm just not ready to start taking donations just yet.
Also, I really don't want to take away from you if you're already doing this, but I agree that coordinating to prevent overlap would be good. My intention is to act as the clearing house for donations and information so that INGO members will have a single point of contact. Ideally, if they don't want to send money, they could ask me what's needed and who to ship it to and do it themselves.
Like I said, I will have some shipments going out tomorrow. Going forward, I'm going to need lists of sponsored people as well as the things they need. Mostly, I'm going to need a way to pay for it, so donations will be important.
