Would you donate $1 to $5 for a chance to win a product if a certain donated amount is reached?
Would you donate?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

By the sound of meeting the $100,000 goal amount and you might win an iPhone or Macbook. It sounds very fishy to me. It looks like a scam. What are the guarantees they would actually live up to their promise?
People who don't normally donate to charities or do free volunteer work. May be enticed to give some money in the hopes of winning back their money. This is why lotteries are very popular. You wont mind gambling some money in the hopes of becoming a instant millionaire.
For the rich and elite. They won't mind paying $ 2,000 a plate for a charity dinner. For that money they get to wine & dine, party and network with very important people. The would probably spend that anyway partying. So why not feel good about it and feel less guilt? After all its for a worthy cause. So they say.
In my own personal fund racing experience. The PTA from my school raise money by doing a Bingo social event. All the prizes for the Bingo are all donations by private individuals. You might win a Fridge, TV, PC a cellphone. So all the profits of the Bingo goes into the PTA to benefit the school.
My folks are both Lions club members and I was Leo club youth member. We did raffles to raise funds for charity. All of the prizes are given thru donations. Before we even start selling tickets for the raffle. The prizes already exists. So there is no risks for us losing any money. Just the trouble of not raising enough funds. Its also funny that sometimes the raffle winner would refuse to accept the prize and donates it back to us.
A person who gives to charity whole heartedly never expect any rewards in return. That's why the best givers prefers to remain anonymous.

I think that for an actual company it would be alot easier then for some random person to do this. However, when that person would link to their Twitter, Facebook or Mahalo account and has shown to be active, how would you feel about it?
