Vice President Kamala Harris raised $47 million from 600,000 donors in the first full day after her commanding debate performance against Donald Trump.
I mean, 1 is more of a pledge as I understand so it wouldn’t be guaranteed that they donate the full amount planned. I just suspect that they ultimately would, though, given it’s their cause. But I agree that it is more of a gimmick to secure more funding.
Then again, so are walk-a-thons and other fund raising events. If you believe in a cause, it shouldn’t matter. I once waited tables for a rich person’s wine tasting fund raiser, and that was a gimmick too. Had raffles and entertainment, etc. Good cause for some kind of illness research, although I only volunteered my time because I had a crush on a girl. That was stupid, of course, but I was 18 so, yeah.
So it sounds like theres 3 steps here:
Yeah that kinda sounds like bs to me. There are 2 donations, and an advertising campaign. No extra money is generated by the “match”.
