The fun fund: Gifts with glee | Charlottesville Daily Progress

The fun fund: Gifts with glee | Charlottesville Daily Progress: "He/she/they could be simply enjoying the good feeling of gift-giving — and maybe slyly enjoying the spectacle of speculation and sleuthing as well.
This is not the first time colleges or universities have received anonymous donations carrying, as do these recent ones, the explicit instructions not to seek the donor.
In some cases in this year’s gifts, the colleges have had to sign a solemn written promise that they would not try to find out who was donating the money.
Some of the donations have arrived as cashier’s checks, some have come from attorney’s offices or other intermediaries. The checks have ranged from $1 million to perhaps $10 million."
