I used to donate to my undergraduate school, but not my grad schools. I TA'd at one grad school and they got their money's worth out of us. The other school is so rich, it hardly matters if I donate.
I quit donating to my undergrad school after I got married. They started sending all of my mail to me in my husband's name -- "Mrs. John Doe." (My husband graduated from the same school.) I was royally pissed and still am. I'm an alumna in my own right -- they know my name. It's on my transcript. I didn't got there to get an MRS. degree. I have two graduate degees and a career in my own right. It's my money that they are asking for, not my husband's money.
Sending cranky mail to school did nothing to get my mail sent to me in my own name, instead of my husband's name. I started sending my money to Doctors without Borders and Heifer International instead.
