After many other people have said similar things I am now pretty sure we will either keep the fundraiser open until like the second or third week of January, or add some way of pledging funds to be donated in the next year.
I think it’d be good to put a visible deadline on the fundraising thermometer, now-ish or maybe just in the final week of the fundraiser. It conveys some urgency, like “oh shoot are we going to make the $X funding goal in time? I better donate some money to make that happen.”
Multiple deadlines ($2M by date Y, $3M by date Z) might be even better
Agree with this, but choosing the last day is hard because of various tax deadlines. I will make some call about a deadline in the next few days, my best guess is it will be around Jan 10th.
I’m planning to donate $1000[1] but not until next year (for tax purposes). If there was a way that pledge that I would.
I’m committing to donating $1000 but it might end up being more when I actually think through all of the donations I plan to do next year.
Thank you!
