Abstract

Donations Gifts Social impact Social support
What donation structure maximizes generosity after the first charitable gift? We compare how donating the same total amount in a lump-sum versus recurring-gift format impacts subsequent charitable contributions. Three studies suggest that recurring donations reduce future support, consistent with an anchoring account, but inconsistent with prospect theory and self-signaling predictions.
