[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One way that donors make a real difference is to set up very specific funds to honor the population of students that they hope to help. For example, many schools have named funds going to support tuition for children of faculty.

But maybe you want to support the kids receiving FA of 75+ %? So maybe you set up a fund augmenting their experience (for example, each FA family gets a set of printed photos from picture day or a couple books from the bookstore, etc) or taking a barrier away from these families (sponsoring free before and after care for select students or setting up a fund to be used by families in case of medical emergency).

There are a lot of barriers for the families who receive large percentages of FA that make it difficult to send their children to local private schools. If you prefer to support only the families you consider "worthy" of FA, the answer isn't to stop giving, but to give in ways that small things could make a huge differrence in the lives of real people (who don't have million dollar houses or rich family members) in your school community.

Unless it's a bigger-ish donation, they are not going to let you micromanage your donation.  I.e. you can't just donate $1000 and say it is for class photos for the kids on 75%+ financial aid.  [/quote]
