Please be informed, if you are presented with the following option after signing the petition: "Can you chip in $X to get this petition on the agenda?" The funds collected do not benefit, I, the petitioner nor the cause. They benefit Change.org
Do not mistake it with a "Donation" - a "Chip In" is a Promoted Petition.* It is entirely optional and the choice is yours to "Chip In".
For more info, please refer to the FAQ page:

According to Change.org: "Promoted Petitions are advertisements, allowing you to have your favorite petitions discovered by thousands of potential supporters. Similar to boosted posts on Facebook or sponsored tweets on Twitter, promoted petitions let you pay to show any petition (including your own) to other potential supporters on Change.org or our distribution channels."
If you wish to support by donations, below are some causes, including my own.
