The Democrats actually did an innovative fundraising
drive with
matching gifts -- but at the, let's call it, peer-to-peer level.
People could pledge to be matchers -- e.g. pledge to contribute $75 to
match three donations of $25, or contribute $50 for a matching
donation of $50, or pledge to contribute $5000 for 50 matching
donations of $100, etc. and had the option of having their email/name
be open to the people who matched their contributions.
That's a great idea!
Another thing the DNC does is have monthly
contributions, which they
call Democracy Bonds. There's no reason Wikimedia should only accept
one-time contributions.
Any sensible charity makes arrangements to try to subscribe
contributors. I'm sure, in Danny's copious free time ...
