I tend to agree. I don't really understand how it works, but I'm sure that
as soon as you give something in exchange it becomes more about the
exchanged thing instead of the sponsorship itself.
I think that if we want to give something back it should be something that
clearly shows it's not an exchange. Like a post card, or so.

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