I was researching beggars/ panhandlers a while back, and one of the interesting things I read is that they'll start out by putting a couple dollars worth of change in their bucket.
People passing by see the change in the bucket, and figure if someone else felt the beggar was genuine enough to give money to, there's no reason they shouldn't also.
I think the trick with these donation sites is to start out with atleast 25-50% of your stated goal, and once people see its almost there, they'll be more excited to pitch in to help you reach 100%.
