Telephone: Can we put you down for an increase to your annual gift to your alma mater? Mr. Veeblefester: Put me down for the same amount as last year! Telephone: Oh, come on! Remember our motto - give till it hurts! Mr. Veeblefester: I have a low threshold of pain when it comes to money!

When I donate, I usually get asked again the following year. What upsets me is that most organizations expect you to give more the next year. I would prefer they ask that I donate the same and if I give more I will. I do not like their assumptions.

Agreed. The more I give to a charity the more they expect. Their literature starts out asking for money in increments of $20 $25 $30 $40 Other $ and then starts to creep up so soon I’m receiving letters asking me to donate $50 $100 $150 $200 Other $!
By then, if I give at all, I give Other $

I would like a thank you without asking for more. The few that do get more.
