That doesn’t answer the question of whether they need the money now or in two weeks. I dislike exposing myself to unnecessary financial risk, particularly at the beginning of a semester and when my work is undergoing layoffs (not that I consider either particularly likely to be a problem, but the risk is distinctly elevated right now and my reserves are lower than I like).

Oh, I didn’t realize you really meant now or a few weeks. As far as I know, there is no significant reason why donating now would be better than in a few weeks, aside from looking good here and maybe encouraging some other people to donate (for which a public commitment ought to be enough).
