Ill dig up $100 and donate it if 4 other people pledge here to donate $100 or more.

If you have an amount much over $100 youre considering donating then please do consider starting a matching pledge like this of your own.

Since $6k is still needed, there are many ways to setup "if I donate, you have to too" pledge schemes like this (with a $100 and 120 pledge limit for each scheme):

  • 100% of goal ($6k)
    • 60 pledges of $100 each
    • 120 pledges of $50 each
  • 50% of goal ($3k)
    • 30 pledges of $100 each
    • 60 pledges of $50 each
    • 120 pledges of $25 each
  • 25% of goal ($1.5k)
    • 15 pledges of $100 each
    • 30 pledges of $50 each
    • 60 pledges of $25 each
    • 120 pledges of $12.50 each

What Im saying is that of course we really appreciate your $100 donation.

Did you donate this $100 because you wanted to match us 4 $100 here? If not then we still need one more person to agree here.

I was politely asked to possibly donate by a person on Facebook, and I thought that $100 would be a nice sum to donate. This is my first time here, so I'm completely out of the loop as to how things go around here.

So my answer is that I wanted to donate $100 and did so, but at the moment I can't donate any more on top of that, and I only want to be part of a pledge if I don't have to donate additional sums on top of the $100 I just donated.

Oh I see now. Its Otto. Thanks for matching us.

To everybody else, I sent Odestoteles here a message asking if he was interested in matching us $100 and he did. So the pledge is complete. The rest of us can donate any time. (Odestoteles, yes your payment part of the pledge is complete) I'll be able to send in my $100 Monday or Tuesday.

Thanks again Odestoteles. Your donation here just turned into $1,000, thats because us 4 here match you $100, and then Longecity matches us all again with $500 more.

Ok, thanks very much for clearing things up.

Good luck with the project. :)
