How do you get burned if you are donating? A donation isn't a payment. A donation is considered charity, and therefore not expecting anything in return. So how do you get burned if you are not expecting anything in return?

Because they find out they've donated to a scam. You've never heard of that happening? Fake charities exist and they are constantly taking advantage of people who want to donate and help. Did you miss all the corruption during Hurricane Katrina and 9/11? Tons of fake charities set up shop and prayed on people trying to help.

My point is that if we make this inclusive and take out the mystery of it all
(by stating exactly what's needed in a dollar amount) people will feel more comfortable with donating. It's all about accountability and transparency.
