The Anthony Rizzo Foundation reached out to me not long ago for help with their "Home Run Challenge." They have people signing up to to donate each time he hits a home run, so you could donate $5 per home run, for example. It's working very well for them, and PayPal is now going to fund the development of a more complete version of this tool that will work for anybody.

So it basically comes down to "event based donations" or "event based payments", where somebody agrees to pay $x any time {something} happens. This could be anything, really, but it fits nicely with sports to think about home runs, touchdowns, goals, 3 pointers, etc. It doesn't have to be sports, though. It could be donating any time the temperature drops below or above a target, as a random example.

So the idea is that many people can sign up and agree to donate $x, and then any time the {something} happens a button could be pushed to trigger the processing of all the payments.

I'm struggling to come up with a name for such a solution. "Event Based Donations" just doesn't have a good ring to it. GiveTrigger is something I've been kicking around, but I don't really like that either.

Any thoughts?
