The Donor Owns The Donor!

Methinks it is the height of control freak, ludicrous, pomposity (said with some firmness!) that a charity would say that so and so is "their" donor. Yes a charity needs to work it's buns off to engage, involve, cultivate, steward and even deeply friend. But own!

The very definition of a gift means no strings attached and the most wonderful gift to a charity is a free moral agent who for a period of time also loves what they love. While it's in play, it's a wonderful synergy!
