     Test result: +27% conversion
2. Social Proof Integration
   • Add real-time donor ticker: “1,842 donors gave this week”
   • Feature donor testimonials with photos/videos
3. Impact Specificity
   • Weak: “Your donation helps children”
   • Strong: “$58 = 1 week of meals + tutoring for a child”

B. Personalization Engine
