Naming a foundation to support scholarships


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

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.

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.

This. Pretty straightforward.

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.
