money bomb
Coordinated giving surge
A money bomb is a concentrated fundraising effort where supporters donate to a campaign or cause within a short window, typically 24 hours.
The strategy creates urgency and momentum, often tied to a specific date or event.
The term emerged from online political fundraising in the 2000s: Ron Paul's campaign raised six million in a single money bomb.
