Generally speaking, that is why many schools receive relatively small and inconsistent donations from graduates who graduated 1-15 years ago and receive most of their money from 20+ year graduates. Again, generally speaking, people need years to get settled, repay loans if they have any, and do whatever else they are doing. We also have to either like what the school is doing or believe that our money will help change some things.
