No, because of the gamification angle:

> The app will encourage you to invite friends to form teams. The teams will drive leaderboards, gamification and hopefully some virality.

I wouldn’t want yet another app trying to manipulate my behaviour[1], even if for an ostensibly good reason[2]. I’m unsure if competing around “which team does the most good” is a healthy way to solve the problem.

But I applaud your cause and might reference the app’s existence to some people on that basis. Whether I’d do that or not would depend on the implementation.

[1]: Though I appreciate your honesty.

[2]: What happens if incentives shift?

It sounds like you'd prefer a straight donation approach?

My concern is stickiness and commitment. I don't want people to show up once, chip in $6 and then disappear forever.

I want people to get engaged longterm and evangelize the platform / cause amongst their own contacts.

I'm open to better approaches for getting more people onboard and active.

Thanks again
