Coronavirus Victims Charity Pages

You'd lose the emotional triggers of connecting with a specific cause. Additionally, there's a lot of affinity fundraising which would not be anywhere as effective.
There are ways to get both. The families can set up private pages w pitches, but donations wouldn’t directly go to them but would be allocated. If you want to make it more fancy, there could be subfunds in specific cities or locations to make the allocation closer to the specific contribution and still tax deductible.

I think you’d lose some $10 donations but get more $1000 ones.

So use an affinity platform with matchers, teams, leaderboards etc.

There's no reason we can't have both.

As far as which funds get more or less, it can be established up front who gets what maybe percentage based.
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

Why doesn't someone make a group victims fund that evenly distributes to approved families? That way contributions will be tax deductible per IRS.

There have been funds established like that. (That's besides for the funds that have always been around to support almanos, yesomim, and needy people.) They didn't make as much as these campaigns. People that know the niftar donate more and solicit more than they would for a mass fund. In addition, even strangers give more (collectively for sure- most person would faster give $20 to 6 funds than $100 to one). People connect to individual stories more, both due to tendency to live knowing what money is going for and human emotional makeup. One death is a tragedy, a million deaths is a statistic is a fact of human nature that affects us all.


Most of these larger funds are verified causes that are being run through rabbanim. Any donor can get a tax receipt if they want.

The reality is that most people donating $20 or $50 are not itemizing anyways.

There are ways to do it. Think of a pushka with many slots leading to one bucket. There could even be counters to keep track of which families are bringing in the most money, and maybe split the allocation of funds partially equally and partially by what each family's page brought in.

I will BL"N do this as well. I will use @Iz 's calculations.

Which means that I am matching their matches too. So if someone donated $10, @aygart and @12HRS add (at least) $20, and I add $30, for a total of $60. We can reach $1000 pretty quickly!

If each of you are matching $10 then a $10 donation results in $40 total, how do you figure $60?

Am I understanding that you're matching up to $1000 per cause?

Because there are 3 $10 donations before me, so I add $30.

So then I'm pretty sure you're already at $1000. On mine alone, if I gave a combined $160, which was then tripled to $480, that's halfway there. And so many others have already given.

If any other matcher is matching matches too, you all hit $1000 instantly.

(Sorry, just had to point that out.)
