@ThisQueerBashesBack@anarchism.space would you prefer they phrased it as "for a limited time, donate $25 or more and receive a free thank-you gift in the form of a custom t-shirt from one of our contributing partners"
like… I don't know what changes you would actually want to make to this campaign? Your proposed "we donated x-many dollars and also were selling merch in which we keep the profits" seems worse than "we're donating x dollars for each unit of merch sold" for the charity in terms of exposure & money.
