Friendship, trust, need. It's sometimes really hard to tell a good friend, who claims to be doing this for good causes, "No, I don't trust you, and won't put any money behind you."
Also, a lot of the projects sounded plausible to me, and I've got twenty years of con-running and event planning in my history. Including a history of working with/for a guy in the vampyre scene who is a major con artist, when I should have known better -- which is another possibility: Turimel might have gotten into the projects because they sounded good, useful, plausible, and then didn't want to leave other good people in the lurch as the projects went down.
