Everyone knows the annual fund is necessary to keep the school running. Just give $5. Other people are giving a lot, some cannot, and everyone benefits from the fund. Each family should give a stretch gift and that is individual to the different families.
Oh, we've been hounded. The entire fall the school has their hand out. Then after December they hound of the Spring auction. Then maybe "special capital campaign". "Oh, and won't you give to the endowment?" They also solicit the grandparents.
