Hello @chrisrice ! I think the Hierarchy isn't a strict one at all. I've seen people who have no need for security such as employment and house but need pride and esteem much more (thinking about my patients actually).
Giving through Fundition could help them fulfill the self-esteem, but not only that, it could also help to transcend ourselves and to achieve another need.
But I'd like to add that Giving doesn't necessarily mean money, it could be a smile, some kind words and knowledge, those are also forms of giving :)
Have a nice day.
-Greetings Miemie from the Fundition team.
