Personalized fundraising : a field experiment on threshold matching of donations

Adena, Maja; Huck, Steffen - 2022

We study a form of threshold matching in fundraising where donations above a certain threshold are topped up with a fixed amount. We show theoretically that threshold matching can induce crowding in if appropriately personalized. In a field experiment, we explore how thresholds should be chosen...

Narrow framing in charitable giving : results from a two-period field experiment

Adena, Maja; Huck, Steffen - 2017

Do donors examine a single ask to donate in isolation or do they consider that other and future asks may come along? In the first year of our field experiment, we vary whether or not potential donors are informed that the ask will be repeated in the following year. This information has dramatic...

Giving once, giving twice : a two-period field experiment on intertemporal crowding in charitable giving

Adena, Maja; Huck, Steffen - 2018 - 2nd revision November 2018

We study intertemporal crowding between two fundraising campaigns for the same charitable organization by manipulating donors' beliefs about the likelihood of future campaigns in two subsequent field experiments. The data shows that initial giving is decreasing in the likelihood of a future...

Personalized fundraising : a field experiment on threshold matching of donations

Adena, Maja; Huck, Steffen - 2019

While increasing the number of small donors, standard linear matching schemes have been shown to cause considerable crowding out in charitable giving with pronounced effects on large gifts. We propose a form of threshold matching where donations above a certain, potentially personalized,...

Adena, Maja; Huck, Steffen - 2018

We study intertemporal crowding between two fundraising campaigns for the same charitable organization by manipulating donors' beliefs about the likelihood of future campaigns in two subsequent field experiments. Theory predicts that the effect of such belief manipulations depends on whether...

In a n experiment, we test the impact of quality certificates on donation s to a charity. Compared to the control group, participants presented with a quality certificate chose higher donations by around 10% and reported higher trust towards the same charity . The choice of donation values over...
