Don’t worry. Some people give anonymously. Just because a name isn’t on the list, doesn’t necessarily mean they didn’t give.

Many schools list by grade and say Anonymous (1) or Anonymous (3) for example. So if a grade doesn’t list Anonymous, and a family isn’t named, you also know they don’t donate.

Also, the families who DO donate generously often get invited to special events. So if you’re a family who acts super rich but NEVER attends these events (or whose name isn’t on an invite), we know you don’t donate. Just FYI.

Right? Some people are offended by the ask. Others are offended by not being asked. Fundraising is a tough work.
