| Another POV on this topic that I've been thinking about is that families that place a high priority on charitable giving may well be very good investments for colleges. In my experience, families that give - be it to the church, the school booster clubs, the local humane society, hospital guild, etc. are probably very likely to add the college's 501(c)3 and related entities.
I know I give a large percentage of my income, though it's a small amount in the grand scheme to various charities that have touched my son and I in different ways. I've already decided that this coming fall, instead of the usual donation to the PTA, I'll be writing that check to one of the funds at his college. I'm also good at fundraising, (and know folks with deeper pockets than I have) so I'm thinking of ways to have them contribute to the college.
Does this make sense to anyone but me? |
