  2. Why do people give? There are complex and contradictory motivations that underpin giving: the coming together – often in one person and sometimes in one act – of empathy and self-interest, altruism and narcissism, guilt and grace. ~ Maria Tumarkin

  3. Representing ‘the poor’ There is, therefore, an incentive topaint the poor as simple and needy in order to appeal to people’s emotions and thereby raise funds. This is more effective than portraying the poor as people with human flaws and complicated lives. ~ Vicki Soanes How can one show the terrible aspects of poverty without playing the card of those that have a discriminatory perception of the poor? ~ LeondroDespouy

  5. Hopelessness/Hopefulness As we all vaguely know, one death is a tragedy, a million deaths is a statistic. “If I look at the mass, I will never act. If I look at the one, I will.” ~ Mother Teresa.

  8. The Psychology of Persuasion SCARCITY Description: Perceived scarcity will generate demand. Examples: - “only 12 tickets left” - unique perks for major givers • ~Robert Cialdini

  9. The Psychology of Persuasion AUTHORITY Description: People will tend to obey authority figures. Examples: - Suited man - UN status, Bill Gates, business card
