New Year's resolution is not to donate to things until I check if there's a matching donation drive starting the next week :( Anyway, donated a little extra because of all the great social pressure from everyone's amazing donations here. Will donate more when I have an income.

I wonder if there's empirical research on how much in advance to announce matching donation drives so as to maximize revenue.

Any observations of how established charities handle this?
