Donations are lumpy, and much support last year came from a few large gifts; and much donation often comes in at the end. Also, last year we were younger and more vulnerable as an organization than we are now, which probably led to some giving us extra help once.

I suspect donation is high-impact; I'd be glad to talk with you about the details if you're interested; I suspect talking with me, with folks who've been to workshops, or with others who've had contact would be better for hugging the query than trying to reason from "CFAR hasn't received donations yet" to "CFAR would not use donations well".
