I've made adjustments to all three project mockups to account for variable pledge-base-level, using the phrase "average pledge value per patron" to indicate that the pledge value is not the same for every patron. I've also added something inspired by the above about encouraging them to spread the word: http://techdesignpsych.com/Temporary/snowdrift/project_sufficient.html In thinking about that, I thought of a possible word to use "crowdmatching" and wondered if Snowdrift has ever considered using that? I searched to see if anyone else was using it and found http://makinggoodthingshappen.org/about-crowdmatching-2/ using it in a somewhat different way. For the moment, I've used the phrase "mutual matching" in the "spread the word" part of the mockup.
