Abstract: Social charitable crowdfunding is a new tool for seriously ill patients to raise money for treatment. One important issue for fundraiser is how to choose the request pattern, asking for retweeting or asking for donation. We build a simulation model to study this problem. Through the model results, we find that, with bigger susceptibility, personal sensibility for request pattern and the network density, the fundraiser should lay more emphasis on the retweeting request; while with bigger synergistic effect between the personal behaviors of donation and retweeting, the fundraiser should lay more emphasis on the donation request generally.
