Luis Villaluis_in_brief@social.coopJul 16, 2025, 8:13 PM@codinghorror I suspect this is mostly just a sweetener to grow the (c)3-facing part of the business, which they recently rebranded.

@luis_in_brief can you elaborate? I’d like to know more
:David Campeydavidcampey@mastodon.onlineJul 17, 2025, 6:27 AM@codinghorror I welcome any innovation that tries to help, this separates the budgeting from the choosing.
We tried a similar experiment on Giva for one to one giving, where company donation was made already then staff got to allocate based on their preference.
The problem there was getting peeps to actually choose and we ended up with an auto allocate heuristic for people who didn't choose. The fund aspect of this is quite a nice angle, as unspent funds would grow, but I'd rather they flow.
