Yes, but...

Now one worries, is this itself a test? Are they judging my desire to donate.

[unishark]

Well there has to be some benefit to passing on the money.

It's kind of like at salary negotiation. You can impress them with how you really are there for your passion not materialism. Or you can get money.

[SuoDuanDao]

Well, honestly - if I wanted to donate, I could do so myself after they pay me.

Then I'd be worried... are they watching to see whether I engage in hollow virtue-signalling?

[b112]

No, they're watching to see if you're worried about whether they're watching to see if you're engaged in hollow virtue-signalling. :P
