You don't have to give $276, you could give $27.6 or even $2.76. I think he was just targeting that amount, since it sounds nice and likely his target audience can afford it. Also I think Kickstarter/Indiegogo would be a bad fit for this -- not only does this organization already have a donation page already set up, but they also would receive a lot less money from making a campaign for that. Lastly, you aren't going to be getting a reward for contributing.
