(Just to reiterate, the point of my suggestion for an improved slogan was to motivate more by appealing more to recipients’ needs than to donors’ sense of being a hero.)
It would be nice to have a slogan that could capture all types of causes. Let’s keep thinking...
If we cannot find such a slogan, something about lifesaving or difference-making may be a good proxy.
After all, preventing there from being more farmed animals in the future is in a sense ‘saving’ lives, at least in the roundabout sense that preventing awful lives is ‘saving’ individuals from experiencing a life of so much suffering that the life isn’t worth living. More straightforwardly, preventing the extinction of intelligent species ‘saves’ the opportunity for many, many future intelligent beings to live.
Admittedly, some people may be more motivated by ‘be a superdonor’ than ‘be a mega-lifesaver’. Different strokes can be expected to motivate different folks.
I agree, and had actually thought about that.

Yup, let’s keep brainstorming, some good ideas here!
Also, we can do some experimenting. We can try out “Superdonor,” “Mega-Lifesaver,” etc. and see how people respond. Could be a good experiment.
