Donor fatigue is a real thing, and I’m growing increasingly crankier and more cynical each day.
There is a private, parochial school near where I live. The tuition is expensive, and the school has a reputation for being an elitist club.
The parents at this school have established, and are aggressively promoting, a campaign to raise funds for it, citing it as an essential part of the fabric of our community that we need to keep open. I have been approached to donate, but I am not inclined to do so. My inquiries about the financial details were met with an attitude of, “None of your business, just donate and don’t ask any questions.” Based on that and on the financial mismanagement, I’m not going to donate, despite being a very generous person.
