THE Prince of Wales, who toured Tasmania last year with his wife Camilla, has made a donation to Tasmania's bushfire fundraising effort which has now pushed past the $2 million mark.
Three more of Australia's big four banks also put up significant donations yesterday and a pizza chain cooked up a way to help.
Prince Charles, who made a "significant" but unspecified donation to the Australian Red Cross Tasmanian Bushfire Appeal told the Governor of Tasmania Peter Underwood that he and his wife were profoundly saddened to hear about the damage and despair caused by the crisis.
The ANZ, National Australia and Commonwealth banks all donated $100,000 to the Australian Red Cross Tasmanian Bushfire Appeal, to match a contribution made earlier in the week by Westpac.
And on Wednesday, one dollar from every Domino's pizza sold at the chain's 11 Tasmanian stores will be donated.
Other food outlets joined the charge with T42 and Fish Frenzy donating $10,000 each.
Hobart radio station 7HOFM will contribute more than $125,000 to the appeal after the success of its 50 Hours for $50,000 campaign this week.
The marathon broadcast aimed to raise $50,000 for the victims of the Tasmanian bushfires.
That goal was exceeded and then Tasmanian brewer James Boag bolstered the coffers substantially by donating $50,000 to the campaign.
The St Vincent de Paul Society has set up a drop-off centre at the Hobart Showgrounds.
The centre is open from 10am-6pm on weekdays and 12-4pm on both Saturday and Sunday.
The society said while material goods were welcome, the best way to help was by donating cash for people to buy what they need most.
