I first saw this after you switched the default. My initial reaction was very positive, then the other page took something away from it.

For me I think it's a case of intrinsic vs. extrinsic motivation. The first page sounded like you were doing the app because it was a cool idea that will make people's lives better so you wanted to see it turn real. That's easy to get on board with.

Then the second page says "and I'm doing it all because I want to make a lot of money." Which you plan to use for a great purpose, but it still makes the app itself less appealing, because it emphasizes that you're not doing the app for its own sake.

The story is a good one, I just think you should link it less prominently and frame it as "x% of profits go to X and here's why," rather than "here's why I built the app."

If there's no legal framework enforcing the donations, I'd keep it very unobtrusive for now, so it doesn't seem like you're using an unenforceable promise as a selling point. Later you'll have a donation history you can talk about.

This is great feedback, thanks! I'm thinking of putting it into an FAQ page, would that work for you?

My worry is that if I put it into a blog post, eventually no one will see it due to the short term nature of blog post discovery.

That seems all right. Possibly the "about us" idea is even better.
