KRT Wire | 11/10/2005 | Millions of Americans donate anonymously: "nonymous donors such as Budd, 47, who expect nothing in return are the most blessed of givers, according to most of the world's religions, and a year of natural disasters has brought out millions of them. Indeed, by theology's highest standard for giving, in which neither donor nor recipient knows the other, every Red Cross contributor, every Salvation Army pot-feeder, every blood donor is among this elite.
Among big donors, on the other hand, anonymity is rare. A survey of professional fund-raisers by Indiana University's Center on Philanthropy found that only about 1 percent of gifts of $1 million or more were anonymous. That included many donors who balked at publicity but whose names were known to fundraisers or others at the institutions they helped."
