Naming a foundation to support scholarships

[justhookit 4191]

So, 2 donors. One is giving the most and the other person is contributing a smaller amount. Is there protocol/etiquette on what order the foundation is named? In other words Smith is giving 750,000 and Jones is giving 250,000. Is this the Smith/Jones Foundation or the Jones/Smith foundation? Or,  my argument is it doesn't fucking matter.

No clue, but would think it's much larger donation first with giving deference to them changing it if they preferred. (Name after someone else, etc or change order).

IMO depends on what they want out of starting the scholarship. 

If they want to name it after themselves it should be major donor first minor donor second 

If they are just funding one they should name it after the thing they are trying to fund/reason they are passionate about scholarships.

I vote for the “Port-a-Fundo Foundation” .

This. Pretty straightforward.

Is this a way to classify the cash you give to strippers as scholarship disbursements?

I think they should go with Scott's Tots.

How about naming it after the first recipient? The HornOnTheBayou Junior Scholarship for Academic Achievement sounds great. And thanks again for the million bucks! We really appreciate it!

Smith et al Foundation. Jones needs to step up to be a named partner. Smith doesn’t need Jones.

You never said if you were Smith or Jones.
