Why Charities Should be Cautious of Giving Days & Crowd-sourcing Events

By participating in “giving days” (like “Give to the Max”) and other crowd-sourcing events, is your charity attracting new donors or are you just changing your existing $500 workplace giving donor into a $50 one-time gift donor instead?
