Refund donations if target not reached
In some cases a fundraiser is for a specific project that can only be accomplished if a minimum amount is raised; or it could be framed in such a way. In these cases, you could consider promising to *refund* all donations if the target is not reached. (See, e.g., Kickstarter in a non-charity context).
