11. The Split Donor
• Retained at a higher rate than donors making
academics- or athletics-only gifts.
• The annual median size gift made by SPLIT
donors amounted to $10,282, exceeding both
academic and athletic only gift size by
thousands of dollars.
23. FAILURE
• For every failure we had we had spreadsheets
that looked awesome.
• “ If anything goes bad then I did it. If anything
goes semi-good then we did it. If anything
goes real good then you did it.”
– Bear Bryant

Hinweis der Redaktion
Rouseau: A purely voluntary deed is certainly something I like doing. But when the recipient uses it as a claim on further favor and rewards me with hate if I refuse, when he insists on my being his perpetual benefactor just because I initially took pleasure in helping him, then charity becomes burdensome and pleasure vanishes. There is a kind of contract, indeed the most sacred of contracts, between the benefactor and the recipient. These are not explicit conditions but they are the natural consequence of the relationship.
