Hi there,
Yes, we put $500K in the Community gifts goal from the Chapters. I too
had no idea that Chapters would be looking to see this spelled out in

It struck me that the Foundation has decided to concentrate on the
large public, the small donators, and not seek much further to
approach big spenders or make money by business partnerships. This is
a statement not only about our history and our future, and also about

Hoi,
When we raise money, we have a choice; either we spend the money and we
communicate what we plan to do or we build reserves for a rainy day. In the

I hereby find this grossly insulting.
Not spending time with Gerard does not mean that someone is hiding from
everyone else.
