Is CCP donating any funds to the collection?

CCP is primarily facilitating this collection for the EVE community; however, the company will incur various indirect costs such as credit card transaction fees, fraud screening and the use of vast array of staff resources. CCP is happy absorb these extra costs for such a worthwhile cause.

Will the money be paid to the charity in dollars or Euros?

PLEX purchased in Euros will be donated in US dollars, but the amount will equal the original Euro value.

PLEX purchased in euros will be donated for the full amount. CCP will absorb any VAT charges incurred so that the charity receives the full amount donated by players.

Who do I assign the contract to?

As mentioned in the devblog, the character that you are supposed to send the PLEX to is called "CCP PLEX for Good". Please make sure the name is spelled exactly correct, so that you don't send it to the wrong player.

Someone scammed me, pretending to be CCP PLEX for GOOD!!

If someone uses this initiative to scam you, then please report it immediately through a petition ingame. Our game masters will permanently ban anyone who uses this initiative for helping the victims of the disaster to scam other players. Not only is this unethical behavior, it also potentially reduces the amount of money our players are able to send to donate, which is unacceptable.

I'm still confused, how exactly does this process work?

To cut the story short, you buy a PLEX, and then you make a contract and assign it to the player "CCP PLEX for Good". This player is controlled by CCP, and all PLEXes assigned to this player through contracts will be converted into real money and sent to charity.
