Matching doesn't "effectively triple" the donation, because the matched part is someone else's donation.
Deceptive tactics like this are toxic to charitable giving culture.
- Stratoscope 7y agoIf the matching helps persuade people to donate, I'm all for it. The Internet Archive is a world wide treasure. Please donate! And it's really easy to set up an automatic monthly donation as I have done. One time donations are great. Ongoing income helps insure that this precious resource can continue to fulfill their mission.
- Aeolun 7y agoI’m just happy they have a monthly option :) most services seem to only consider wanting to give once.
- filmgirlcw 7y agoIf the donation is contingent on someone else donating first, semantics aside, it’s the same thing. My employer wouldn’t donate to the Internet Archive in the amount that I gave unless I did first.
