Competition doesn’t have to be between individuals, though—there could be a level in between that gets the best of both worlds.
For instance, getting companies to compete against each other could provide an excellent drive to increase donations—particular amongst rival firms—without singling out individuals. The total amounts would be significant enough that they aren’t underwhelming on the national or global scale. Alternatively, a local area authority level.
Just because the cause is good doesn’t mean that competing is bad or inappropriate—surely XPRIZE exemplifies this?
