If your goal in donating now is to recruit more people to donate later, you probably don’t have to donate nearly as much as if your goal was to actually maximize the other impacts of your donated money. So you can donate a little now, use that to recruit people to donate later, and make most of your donations later.

Isn’t this true only if there are sharply diminishing returns on recruitment?
