This fundraiser is important to many at HN, and I think it would be good to consider having some new category of HN like “pinned” for important things that shouldn’t fall off quickly and allow users to suggest a moderator “pin” a post. Similarly pinned things would have “unpin” and a sufficient number of unpins would signal to moderator to unpin it. I’m worried that not everyone will see this because of the normal cycle of posts. You could argue that the current way works well for most things, but pinning is an important part of most forums.
