Wonderful compilation! Thank you!
FYI, both the bar and the "i" include the ranking bonus in the displayed happiness, but the actual happiness that was paid for is shown by hovering over the total on the bar. It's important to point that out, because people who are close to the bottom of a range will probably get pushed out of it and lose their ranking bonus before the end of the event.
For instance, my current 47 is bound to drop to 43 in a matter of hours.

Awesome again Manish!
Does anybody know for sure when the appearance of the telescope changes? I have enough happiness for a simple one again, but if it's not too much, I would love to go for a beautifull one
Edit: I think the line is at 50 or 51, around there I got a beautiful telescope.

Manish, I visited a farm (forgot the name) and saw that, the owner of the farm had Beautiful Telescope with only :)51
So how can you say that we get Beautiful Telescope at :)55 and higher ????
Thanks,
Nabil

I think ss02092 (post #10) may be right... The type of telescope you receive depends on the base happiness you get, discounting any ranking bonus.
I don't know how much I have donated so far, but, at present, my reward is Beautiful Telescope with 67 Happiness (62 + 5(bonus for ranking on 4-100)).
P.S. I donated a bit more and, now, at 64 base happiness, 69 total happiness, I get a Valuable Telescope.

Sorry if this is in the wrong spot. Tried looking in announcements and didn't see it.
This charity event. (car above farm.) How much, EXACTLY do I have to donate to get the telescope prize? OR get to the next step what ever that is?
If this works like a mission, where people keep buying gold just to stay ahead of the pack, tell me now. I'll just avoid the thing.

You could give just $1 but it will give virtually no Happiness.
The more you give the more Happiness your telescope will give.
There's quite a discussion in the official discussion when it first came out. Farmers say what value Happiness they got for the dollar donation they gave

And post #107 even has a farmer generated equation to help you. Its not a GGS provided formula so don't rely on its accuracy, but may give you a guide

This comment in the thread Rhon mentioned gives a list of approximations for farm dollars to happiness. Based on the amount I just donated and the happiness I'm getting for it, it's still reasonably accurate. This is the best deal for decorations that you can buy, by the way.
Basically, decide how much money you're willing to spend, check to see how much happiness you can buy for that, and decide whether you want to do it. For instance, on two of my farms I just upgraded the farmhouse and the restaurant, so what I can afford right now is not worth it — I have better decorations in storage! — so unless I earn a lot more money by the end of the week than I anticipate, I'm skipping the event this time. On my third farm, though, I'm always scrabbling for better happiness, so I've taken a chunk of money that I had been saving to upgrade my farmhouse, because I can always do that later, but this event doesn't come around often.
If you have more spare money before the event is over, you can increase your donation to get more happiness if you want to.
At the end of the event, if you're in the top 1000 donations on your server, you will get one or more additional happiness points. It's better to assume you won't and be pleased if you do, than to assume you will and then be annoyed if you get edged out or down to a lower tier. For instance, right now my WWW farm is at rank 35 which would add 5 extra happiness to the 57 I bought, but since this is only the first day of the event I expect to be pushed way down from there before it's over.

Ok, I think I get it. One of my coop members helped explain it too. (I'm the op by the way, logged into another farm right now.)
I just love the idea of some different decor. Will try to at least land in the middle. I have no hopes of getting a top spot. Middle ground would be nice.
Does the decor piece itself have any happiness to it at all? Say someone just donates a dollar to get it?
(Off to go click it again and see if it says.)

$1 is minimum, but that amount has virtually no happiness level.
I am going to partake in the event ONLY if Steve gets here first--I am a bit low on funds and the telescope I did get cost a heap of money. I don't really have to have another telescope.
