I assume it’s being budgeted out of their monthly cash flow, not coming out of cash reserves.

On the other hand, the monthly payments mean they’re less likely to overcommit their spending up front.
If they’re hiring someone with twice-monthly paychecks, receiving the money up front doesn’t make much difference unless they want to hire based on projections of higher future donations, which is a risky move.
