The Century Foundation announced yesterday that they are seeking suggestions for the name of the employee giving campaign, formerly known as “Lights for Learning.” Here are the leading suggestions to date:
- Put Up and We’ll Shut Up
- Don’t Make Us Garnish Your Pay
- Guilt for Gifts
- Finally, Someone Is Willing to Take Your Money
- Hurt ’til You Give
- Please please please please PLEASE
- Total Stealth Maximum Secrecy Confidential Giving Campaign
- If You Give, We Promise To Develop Some Kind of Bookkeeping System To Keep Track of It, This Time, No Really
- We Already Spent It
Given the practice of having needy students publicly disclose their tales of woe (who could refuse, having been the recipient of the Foundation’s beneficence?), “Guilt for Gifts” seems most appropriate. And it’s snappy!
