Is there a cap to this? For example, the first $100K will be matched 10x?<p>Also, is the match monthly or all at once?

It&#x27;s awesome when platforms can increase the effectiveness of our donations like this.<p>By the way, if anyone is looking to support teachers through small donations, DonorsChoose (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.donorschoose.org" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.donorschoose.org</a>) does matching opportunities like this regularly. They fund classroom projects, not health issues, but I think the satisfaction and rationale for supporting are similar. The most recent match was backed by The Bill &amp; Melinda Gates Foundation.

I love the idea of Watsi. I do wish they would, tastefully of course, take a page from CharityWater&#x27;s playbook and highlight better the impact your money creates. Also is it like charity water in which my donation goes to the cause 100%? or are the funds going to support watsi ops? (I&#x27;m ok with either, but would prefer transparency this day in age). The donate a birthday Idea could be pushed further. I&#x27;ve given up my birthday a bunch on charity water, raised thousands that way. I&#x27;d like to see &quot;I&#x27;m giving up my birthday so we can get Maria in honduras a new kidney&quot; or something along those lines.<p>anyway sorry for the rant.

I LOVE Watsi - 100% of my donation goes directly to help people.<p>Is this only for new donors? I am already a universal fund donor, but may consider making a new account for my &#x27;friend&#x27; to get the match donation.

No emotion on the home page. Would be nice to immediately see a real person that could be helped. Not sally struthers style melodrama but some connection. Some example of the good that will happen.

Can the monthly donation amount be lowered in the future?

What if they have a 90% administration fee... all that matching could go right back into the charity. This would effectively make it 0% matching.<p>Also, the matching could be prorated over the next 100 years. This company has only been around for 3 years and doesn&#x27;t have a profile on Charity Navigator yet. I will give it some more time.
