I take your point, but I want to say a little more. You may agree?
To accomplish big things, sometimes you have to change many minds just a little bit. Sometimes you start by asking people to notice something. Then maybe you ask them to wonder if it could be different. Then maybe you convince people that it should be different. Then maybe you convince people that it must be different; that the status quo is not ok. This can be hard work; think about the organizing for civil rights in the US.
This process involves big ideas. Sure, asking people to give $5 for the cause can help, and you also need people willing to do more than give. You need them to agree deeply, because you need their support over time.
