[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our donations are always Anonymous, esp larger ones.  We don't want to be solicited  by others, but also, it's not necessary for our names to be on something, we know how much we gave and why, and it's not really any one else's business[/quote]

Ah yes the virtue signal to end all virtue signals.. the ability to tell others you don’t want credit and always donate anonymously. What heroes!![/quote]

How is it a “signal” of any sort if no one knows who you are?  We do this, and candidly we think it kind of annoys the development people who would prefer it to be more public as a way of pressuring others to donate more.  But we have no interest in anyone else knowing what we donated, why would we?[/quote]

Because the people who list “anonymous” typically like dropping little hints and will frequently say “well we donate, but we like to stay anonymous” like all the silly posters on this board.  [/quote]

This was an episode of Curb where larry david and ted danson had wings at a hospital named, and ted did it as "anonymous" but like dropped hints to everyone at the gala.

I see it as a preference - like the rich ppl who live in 10mm homes, we know you have money, its cool.[/quote]
