With extrinsic motivation (you get a carrot if you donte) we are destroying
intrinsic motivation (to donate to do good or to support a project wich is
important for you).
More options make it more difficult to deside. A couple of weeks (or perhaps
months) I donated for a project with about 100 possibilities, depending on 5
or 10 USD stepps (ok, what feeled like 100 was more than 10 or 15 in reality.)
A had an amount in mind when I entered the site and was so confused by the
options that I left the site to deside. Luckily I came back an donated the
amount I was planing. But am not sure until today if I should write an e-mail,
that I don't need the carrot.
So I would be carefull with offering carrots for donations. But perhaps it is
only me thinking this way and it is successful by these projekts.
But in general it is a good idea to have a donation option.
Thomas
