The latter notably includes ``niche'' causes linked to (combinations of) cultural, sexual, ethnic, religious and social minorities. Smaller causes often do not have the capacity to offer support for achieving fiscal compensation to their donors, reprieving their (latent) donor constituencies of the amplifying effects of such compensation and making them less attractive (and thus relatively less likely) to be supported. %XXX: This sentence does not make sense to me. "Reprieve" is not used correctly (I think), and it's too lacking in detail to understand whether it's referring to e.g., membership benefits, or something else.
