In the current US Presidential Election, Barack Obama has been driving contributions with a "matching donors" program, which just puts two individuals who give at the same level in touch with each other. Perhaps something similar could be looked into for future use?
I don't understand - what does that achieve?
I guess the idea is that you encourage each other to donate - "well, John's putting in $50 this month, and if he can then I ought to".
(I haven't looked into the program, but I've heard a similar thing suggested before)
