<p>It’s common for some colleges to put big donors together with kids who benefitted- also to ask kids to send a brief, newsy thank you to the originators of that fund once/year (usually, the names on the fund.) The feedback I’ve seen from kids, after they met a donor, was rather sweet. </p>
<p>For a church- wow, a family that needs a holiday basket, toys or warmwear being asked to step forward to people who probably gave a minimum. Just wow. No humility there.</p>
