That would depend on "X" organization's track record and why "Margaret" is in the position that she is in. But if all things being equal, I will more likely contribute to an organization that helps a group of people than just an individual.

Text surrounded by asterisks (*) is italicized.

Text surrounded by plus signs (+) is bolded.

Symbols such as *, +, |, and ~ can be used literally by placed a \ in front of the text.

A user's name surrounded by at signs (@) links to their profile, and the user is notified that you mentioned them.

A word surrounded by hash signs (#) becomes a tag and links to posts with that tag.

Text after a blank line that is indented by two or more spaces is reproduced verbatim in a different font.

URLs become links. However, new users cannot post links in comments.

Hubski URLS become embedded cards, displaying information about the post or comment.

But isn't that "group" of people just a mass of individuals? Don't you feel like the organization would have more accountability if you were connected to an individual that could verify "yes, I did indeed receive soup"?
