I’d think that saying who was given money would be a pretty fundamental part of transparency for this, as is the expectation that people would continue giving once whatever emergency exists is resolved. Yes, 1 year is likely too short a time frame to repay if there is a huge need, but that’s why I’d say people should be able to suggest a longer time frame. (And if someone has a huge disaster and needs cash, I’d think that they wouldn’t mind people hearing that fact quite as much.)
The use case, in my mind, is someone who is nervous about giving 25% of their income and not trying to keep 6 months of savings in case of disaster. If they did that, then something happens, they need to change their mind about some of the giving—but once they are back on their feet, they would go back to donating. However, if it’s building a way for people to later say “I want half my money back, to keep forever, now that I no longer want to do this,” I don’t think it’s worthwhile as a project.
