[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks.  I'm more worried about it from the bad slacker end.  I'm less concerned about trying to "buy my kid in" or something.  It's more like, if I give zippo ever, are they going to think my kid is a bad prospect or something and then my kids' application will be harmed by my lack of participation?  Do I need to give a little protectively to avoid that?  [/quote]

No. If you gave nothing, it will not impact your kid’s admission in any way, shape or form. Unless you’re donating enough to have a wing added on somewhere on campus, the amount you give (whether it’s $0 or $100 or $1000 a year) doesn’t matter. [/quote]

I used to work in university development. Donations of less than 25K are generally handled in a more automatic process. After that point you will get a human contact but again keep in mind this is a minimum threshold.

I am 2500 a year and I have a person.  Now that is every year for a number of years and am biglaw partner but she meets with me at my office once or twice a year.  School has multi-billion endowment.[/quote]

You have a person who meets with you regularly because their data suggests that you have capacity. That + your giving history leads them to believe that there are bigger gifts possible in the future. [/quote]
