I suspect it's a more significant thing, in fact, if a project
attracts contributions from 50 individuals that add to $1000 (that's a
mere $20 apiece) than if it attracts $10K from a corporate donor.
I'd expect getting 50 people to take the (pretty nominal) action to be
more difficult than to get one person to sign off on $10K.
If a project needs $10K, the latter is obviously necessary;
demonstrating the "grass roots support" of the first $1K would be
quite compelling to the folks with bigger purse strings...
