The Fundraiser

What do you give?

The Fundraiser

Someone you know a little, a friend of a friend, has had a bad year and there's a page collecting money for them. The page lists every name and every amount. You can see one person gave £200 and several gave £50. You were going to give £10. Your name will sit under the others for as long as the page is up.

What do you give?

Then ask

  • If the page were anonymous, does your number go up or down?
  • Is a gift you make so you're seen making it worth less?
  • Who on that list are you comparing yourself to?

The classics and some new ones. A scenario, the question it forces, and the follow-ups that make it bite.
