Therefore, I would not reply unless the offer is repeated in a way that suggests that it wasn't a canned offer and that the guy actually knows what the group does. I would also remove the offer from the tiki page in question. If someone donates and asks that their name be published, we can consider it. A long time ago, we talked about high-value-donor honorary "premium memberships" like many non-profits have, but we don't have such a program in place. On the other hand, in a normal fundraising situation, it is perfectly legit for companies to support a group in order to see their name in some list. But as it is, there is currently no one in the list, and $50 is an awfully low threshold for a company to get listed, especially when it is not in a long list of donors. $1000 or more, maybe %^) lojbab
