Прошу помощи зала:
Several experiments in building habitual donations have sprung up: The Mutual, still in startup mode, rewards small a monthly donation with discounts to shops and restaurants.

Кто кому чего возвращает? воздаёт? Что такое этот мьючел - полагаю, Mutual Insurance Companies, взаимное страхование, но что происходит - понять не могу. И вообще, жарко. Извините, что к вам обращаюсь. Помогите, плиз.

небольшие, но регулярные (ежемесячные) пожертвования вознаграждаются скидками в магазинах и ресторанах (дабы укоренить привычку)

вы уверены, что в оригинале именно так: "rewards small a monthly donation"?

Тогда непонятно. Видимо, они сами не смотрят, что пишут. То есть выше вам правильно объяснили общий смысл, но вот это "rewards small a monthly" - абракадабра какая-то.

Just a friggin' typo, should be "rewards a small monthly donation." Don't fret over it, take a deep breath. :)

True, I replied to O&C, who is frantically pacing the room trying to make sense out of the crumbling universe around her. :)

Rather a Feudian slip. Meant to say "rewards too small a monthly donation", obviously.

What's Freudian about it?

Being explained (quite jokingly) from the psychoanalytical point of view. As I proposed to see here an "error in speech, memory, or physical action that is interpreted as occurring due to the interference of some unconscious" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freudian_slip). Unwillingness to pay seems to manifest less and less consciously these days.

I am really sorry for causing you such mental anguish. :)

Not at all. Your true English courtesy expiates it all. :)
