Even then the one donated can is becoming two if people just donate the cash equivalent! Even in your example donating cash would be better and the money that doesn't go directly to services but instead to advertising and management expenses will also hopefully bring in more donations. But again even in your example if we ignore 100% of the benefits of advertisement and good management 1 can is /still/ becoming 2 cans!
