America's top donors

An interesting web discussion featuring Lorry Lokey, who has appeared on The Chronicle of Philanthropy's list of America's top donors every year since 2000.

Two of Mr Lokey's comments stood out for me:

"I am not impressed with fancy huge brochures, publications, CDs, and especially gifts. A one page letter will do along with a one or two page flyer."

"At least 99% of request made to me by mail or phone are not answered because I don't know them."
