I was told there would be no math. Have no idea what's going on but I'm good for $200 for... um whatever we're doing. ;D ;D ;D |

I'm not getting why we would be limiting the matching amount. Why don't we just match dollar for dollar until the maximum matching amount is reached? Seems it would be much easier to keep track of. I guess I'm afraid that donations won't reach the matching funds considering how slow donations have been lately. By the way, count me in for $100 in the matching pool!! WECOME, MALLOW767!!! I guess the idea is an optimistic one. If we match dollar for dollar, than the most we can raise through the challenge is twice our Atop pledged pot (that is, right now, around $7200, which is nothing to sneeze at!). But if we pair our matches to the number of donations, rather than to the $ amount, we could in theory raise much more (say, if there were 720 donations averaging $10 per donation, that would be $7200 plus the $5 we've added (on averge) for each of those donations--that is, our $3600 pot--so 10,800 in all). In other words, in theory we can inspire more donors if we don't cap it at $3600 (or whatever our pot ends up being). Does that makes sense? I know you're not addressing me but my truth-in-advertising conscience is forcing me to butt in and say that theoretically we run the risk of inspiring more contributions than our pledge pot will support. LOL! And I'm probably done with this conversation because my burrito brain is smoking from the intense workout I've just put it through thinking about this subject. Time to cool it off.  |

If someone donates $1 -- we match $1 $2 -- we match $2. $5 -- we match $5 But that is the maximum match -- so if someone contributes $10, we match $5. Does that make sense? If our pot totals $3300 and 3301 people donate $1 our pot won't cover it. You have to max the amount we'll match. At some point you'll have to say up to X amount of dollars (whatever the final pot total is.) Yes, excellent point -- I will add. |
