I was just going to say that this strategy works great for NPR: "Our goal is $5000 this hour, and we've got $3000. C'mon, call us!"

I figured that if someone could see that the goal was not yet reached then they would be more inclined to donate. People are sometimes apathetic and need to see that a goal was not reached. If, say, someone waits a few weeks before donating they may throw in 10 bucks because they may figure that there were enough donations. If, however, they could see that the donations were a few thousand short then they may be inclined to donate $100.
