NWR - etiquette-ish question

We did this at my old job. One person was in charge of collecting the money though to make it easy and more organized. We signed the card from our department.

I agree..I think one person should be in charge of taking the collection

Do you mean anonymous like each person should donate directly if they so choose, or anonymous like we're doing a group collection but just put in however much you want and we don't need to ID each person and how much etc?

I meant annymous like a collection lockbox that people can just put a donation in - I wasn't sure if people would feel uncomfortable having someone knowing what they donated

I would give the option for anonymous in addition to someone collecting. I know some people feel uncomfortable being asked to give and/or having other people know how much they give.
