The CEA Online Team is planning on hosting a Donation Election, where users will vote on how to distribute a Donation Election fund:

As mentioned in the announcement, the Online Team is considering matching donations to the fund, up to $5000. 

If the Online Team announces that it will NOT match donations (this should be announced when the fund opens), will other people contribute at least $5000 to the fund by the time voting in the election starts (in early December)?

- If the Online Team announces some kind of matching scheme for this fund, this question will resolve “N/A.” 

- If individual people on the Online Team donate to the fund, their donations will count like those of anyone else. 

- I’ll resolve the question when voting starts.

TL;DR: The Forum will host a number of events during Giving Season 2023, including a big donation election, weekly themes, and more.  …
