I think the dollar a month (per person or maybe per ferret!) that lots of
people are sending to SOS (or possibly a shelter) is great.  For some
people it's easier to send it in all at once, once a year.  To stagger
the dates around (and to make it easy to remember) we could do it on our
birthday, or the birthday of a special ferret (-:
