Some would argue that because he gives so generously to the athletic department - it is one of the few that runs in the black and doesn't pull any money from the school. He also gives A LOT to academics at Stanford.
Beyond that you have guilted me into thinking I should give at least a little something the next time they call. Do you work in fundraising because if not - you should consider it.  . |
No, I don't work in fundraising. LOL! I work in insurance! I tend to be passionate when I volunteer and I'm quite skilled at getting people to donate the three T's...Time, Talent, and/or Treasure! Everyone has something they are willing to give. I also love to network, so you scratch my back and I'll scratch yours! It's all about making it personal and I do that very well.
Don't feel guilty on my account. Everyone has their things they donate too.
