Perhaps depending on the gross value of a particular job or an
organizations budget etc.  We could have NGO rates as well as
commercial.  So - just as an example -

Not incorporated - Free
10,000 or less in gross revenue - $10
25,000 or less in gross revenue - $20

etc.

up to around $100K - which would be whatever the top fee would be

NGO Discounts of 25% or even more.

we could also institute a "Cry poverty" option - where someone could
explain why they can't pay.

I'm really not sure that I've suggested "taxing community behavior" but
I'm still not clear if you are referring to only the issue of
advertising for jobs or also that of a "tip jar".
