Hi Brandon,
Yes this is something we've considered but not put into action as yet. There are two approaches we'd want to consider
Donation Handles
The idea that a donation amount can be attributed to a tangible value that supports the charity's cause. For example, $100 buys a tent, $150 buys a water filter etc. This might help donors better understand the value of their potential gift and the impact that it'll have. Even if these handles are just illustrative rather than "restricted".
Donation Rewards
More to your point, the notion that a donation of certain value unlocks a gift, reward of sorts. Because our history is in the UK, we've resisted these as Gift Aid cannot be claimed on a donation where the donor gets something back in kind (physical or not). For that reason, we've not previously explored this particular idea. But as we go international it's something we're more conscious of.
Out of interest, would you see it incumbent upon the charity to then handle, manage and coordinate any sending of gifts, rewards etc? I'm pretty sure that's not an area that JustGiving would want to handle.
Thanks for the suggestion!
Jamie
