How āhingeyā is it to donate? I mean, if I donate $1000 and it turns out that CLR didnāt raise enough money to meet one of your fundraising goals, will my donation have been for nothing?
Iām not sure I understand your question correctly, so please respond if I didnāt get it.
You ask: Could your donation be for nothing if we donāt meet our fundraising goals. I donāt think this is the case. If we donāt even meet our minimal goal, we will possibly have to downsize or do so sooner than otherwise. Your donation would still help in those cases. The only scenario I see where your donation āwould have been for nothingā is short-term insolvency. This is very unlikely.
Even if there were some scenarios in which your donation āwill have been for nothingā in hindsight, I am not sure this is the right way to think about it. Your donation would still have made a difference ex-ante in expectation.
To answer your broader question about āhingeyā-ness: I think at the moment is a particularly good and important time to donate CLR compared to the past and also likely compared to the future. That would make this time particularly āhingeyā.
