would a small donation be silly?

What makes a donation important is surprising. Of course more is always better. But, for some ranking lists, schools are judged by the % of their alum who donate. The actual % is viewed as an indicator of loyalty to the school and as indicative of the extent to which students have good experiences at their college such that they want to donate. And for those lists, a dollar works. The important variable is the % of the class who donates regardless of how much they donate. Of course the OP isn’t in a class or an alum but the post gave me the opportunity to explain that alum who have positive experiences in a school should donate even if it is only a tiny amount because it does help the school.
