No all the donations come from the SBD that I earn from posting. But that is only my part of it....the initiative is to encourage more Steemians to hopefully do the same or similar. It doesn't matter to me if 'Giving Steem' grows into something else or is superseded by something better organised or more effective. The only way it can currently scale is if other accounts do what I'm doing. I like the idea of that because it feels like accountable, transparent, decentralised, direct giving.

yes I like that also. Plus when people see others giving, it plants the idea in them too.
Additionally, as Steemit grows, it will be flooded with a kind of grab-all mentality that we see in corporate worlds. It will become even more necessary to show these kinds of people who are doing the opposite, and who are actually doing great service here in steemit.
Absolutely. There are significant cultural changes that we need to go through before the deeper benefits of Steem can be realised. That's only to be expected. It is incredibly important for people those who can envision something that could make a difference to everyone forever, try to show how that vision might be achievable. They are all small things really that for most come naturally with security and opportunity.
