Correct, I rather referred to "just say". The banner might miss
information/affordance like "Support us..." / "Help to shape your
foundation ..." / "Your help makes the community stronger ..." / "Our
challenge is your chance ..." / "Help to face the challenge ..." [...]

The "only 35" days may appear long from a user's perspective, therefore
the challenge is - from my point-of-view - the last 14 days or so. And
that is what i proposed before: having a time frame that kindly asks for
help, kindly remind (e.g. via a countdown timer) during the last days.

Oh, on the donation page - of course, this information should be there.
People usually want to compare their help with others, or may want to
know the current status.

Any chance to have a short phone call later this evening? The next hours
are blocked on my side, so it would be great if we could quickly talk
about the open issues.


Cheers,
Christoph
