What can the rationale possibly be?

I can see part of the issue. I raised my D to donate 10% to “charity” - but (and it’s a big but), I had done a lot of research and made a list of charities that actually pass the donations to those in need, and do not skim off the top for “expenses”. For example, the LA Times Camp Fund will match 50 cents on the dollar, and not 1 penny is used for “expenses” (they are absorbed through the LA Times, NOT the camp fund), “good charity” - The United Way, more than 70% of donations are used to absorb “expenses” (salaries, printing, rent), “bad charity”. Perhaps you could research and show your Mom that you are doing a good thing.

Maybe this is her objection?
