[quote=Anonymous]I work in fundraising for a large organization that uses several algorithms to assess wealth. It’s almost always based on real estate holdings, which drives me crazy, especially in this real estate market. If I were the school’s fundraiser, I’d look at your family and say yeah, they live in a nice home but have 5 kids in private school and don’t appear to multi millionaires, based on your careers, and would not have asked for more than $10k. But I definitely know people who would have done what the school did. I think they are delusional. I’ve never had anyone be offended by the amount I have asked, usually they just laugh and say something along the lines of being flattered to think they are so rich. I’d send them an email and focus more on the fact that you are new to the school and that asking for a long term investment in the school at this point is very presumptuous.[/quote]
