Hmmm, I don't know. It would depend on the person or the organization.

I think a better question based on the product I'm pitching is:
1. If you knew that you were helping someone in need by doing something you already do every day, would you be more likely to do it more enthusiastically? Let's say every time you open a door a poor child receives 5 cents. But it has to be a door with a door knob, not an electric sliding door. There are two dry cleaners near your house, one has a door knob door and the other the electric sliding door. Otherwise, all things are equal (cost, convenience, customer service). Wouldn't you naturally go for the one that allows you to give to the child? Sorry for the muddy analogy, hopefully this will be brought to market sometime and it will all make sense.
