[quote=Anonymous]The goal is almost always 100% participation, so the amount is not as important as giving something. None of us knows or can judge your family's finances and priorities. For me, the rule of thumb has always been to pay the full cost of attendance (the tuition gap), so that we are giving the school enough on top of tuition to educate my child. The amount varies, but every school I know cites it as part of their fundraising appeals. In my mind, if I gave less, it means that someone else is making a contribution to educate my child. That money would be better spent on a family that needed it more than ours. [/quote]
