I can't remember where I got it, I think freakanomics, but I like the idea of giving people some control over the direction of their donations (the freakanomics example was talking about taxes).

So TNG would post three upcoming projects from the to-do list and when you donated you could donate those dollars to one of the three specific projects. Once one is "funded" it gets made.

It's a sort of very pragmatic value add that gives donors the feeling of control on a site.

I'd bet everyone would put money into an API in that scenario.
