This post made me wonder if emotionally salient donations meaningfully increase long-term giving capacity? like even if the initial act isn’t maximally cost-effective?
Thank you Arnold for your question! tbh cost-effectiveness was never a matter of concern here since I was not funding anything significantly tractable or neglected.
I also believe you are right that emotionally salient donations can increase long-term giving capacity because they help people form a durability around giving rather than a purely instrumental motivation everytime.
