While I can’t share specific details about our previous benefactor for various reasons (e.g. privacy), I can assure you the reasons for this are not related to any issues with the Donor Lottery itself (e.g. support of the approach, estimation of its value or cost-effectiveness, any issues with the process etc).
Our previous benefactor has been instrumental in supporting the lottery in the past and we deeply appreciate this. We’d be excited to find more backstop funds to increase the size of the Donor Lottery again.
Who was behind the backstop funds in the previous years? Do you know why they would not offer the backstop funds this year?
