Back Door Fundraising
The fundraising letter I just received from WSIU left me both amused and slightly annoyed. You mav have noticed it already and I have seen it on the last couple of letters asking for donations to WSIU but there's a line stating:
In furtherance of the goals of Southern at 150, SIUC and the SIU Foundation retain six percent of all gifts to strengthen the advancement program.
Maybe it's just me, but if I donate money to WSIU, I'd like the money to be used by WSIU and not go to Southern at 150. If I want to donate money to Southern at 150, I'll be glad to send it to them.
