The prospect of driving away donors was discussed. Direct evidence of a reduction in donations wasn’t, unless I missed something big. My impression is that donations from other sources were growing at the time and have continued to grow substantially from year to year.
Given that, I could maybe see the case for committing not to give more than the anticipated remainder assuming growth in other donations continued apace, as a credible threat against shirking, but 50-50 “splitting” massively undershoots that mark.
