If October 4th and/or 22nd had large donations because of one-time events
instead of regular donation appeal changes, why are they both bracketed by
vastly abnormally successful previous and subsequent days?

Hi Megan,
Per the attached graph of the

data, your announced October 4th fundraising test on 100% of anonymous
users was anticlimactic. But what the heck did you do on September 2nd
and October 22nd, and would you please do that every day? Even if it
falls off at the same rate as the July test, that still means you
could produce an endowment sufficient to do away with fundraising at
current spending levels in less than eight months.
Best regards,
