Why make a small alumni donation?

Raising money can not only increase people's sense of responsibility, but also make people more aware of how precious their living environment is, and also help them establish a correct outlook on life and consumption during the activities. Broaden your horizons! An educational significance, as a social civilization, everyone should have the consciousness of helping others, which is also an expression of personal love or kindness! I find it very difficult to get China to agree with small donations.

there are many different ideas between China and America. For example, the concept of many Americans is "as long as you work hard". In your example, it means "as long as you donate money and contribute, not how much money you donate, but what you can help is a little". The concept of China people may be (note that it is "possible", which indicates that it is only based on my personal daily observation) "It takes a lot of resources and energy to get things done". In this example, it means "Donation is all done by rich people. I can only donate a little money, but what can I do with this little money?"

Although many people in China have realized and mentioned the concepts and sayings of "just work hard" and "don't care about how much money is" in recent years, I think there are still not many people who are really willing to practice these words, mainly because their concepts have not really changed. If you don't agree with it fundamentally, you can't change anything just by saying "politically correct" or "positive" words on the scene.

With regard to small donations, I think its significance lies in the fact that many a little makes a mickle, a drop of water wears away, unites people's hearts and inherits beauty. For a school or a department, a large donation can be met without asking for it. After all, not every alumnus can become a figure like Ma Yun and Ma Huateng. Therefore, small donations are more practical for a school and a department.

Because for many ordinary alumni, small donations are more affordable. Take myself as an example. Before I went abroad to study for a PhD, my annual after-tax income in China was about 2,. After studying abroad for a PhD, my post-tax income from working in my laboratory (part-time) is about 18, USD, calculated at the exchange rate of 1: 6.8, and the post-tax income is 122,4 RMB. After deducting the cost of food and clothing in the United States for one year, there will be a balance of about 2 thousand RMB per year. Whether it is 2, before going abroad or 2, now, you can afford to donate 5, yuan a year. Of course, not everyone has to donate 5, or 1, yuan every year; It is entirely possible for each person to donate only to 1 yuan, 5 yuan and even 1 yuan and 5 yuan every year. As long as there are enough alumni to donate, the final number can still be large. You can refer to an example of Wuhan University: alumni actively participate in small donations-646 people donated a small sum of RMB * * * 31,88.54.

small donations are also donations. Organizing such an activity, or even organizing such a small donation activity every year and every six months, can unite people's hearts, motivate students, and improve the visibility of the school. Graduates can be a resource and wealth that cannot be underestimated. Being able to donate to the alma mater shows that alumni recognize the cultivation of the alma mater and is conducive to the spread of the school's reputation in society and among enterprises. In addition, small donations again and again, if it becomes a traditional activity of a school and a department, will be passed down from generation to generation year after year, which will become an advantage for schools and departments to attract future students and gather more people's hearts at the spiritual and cultural levels. This is also a vivid and vivid interpretation of one of the meanings of education.

Of course, some people may think that 5. Is 1 yuan a donation? Is that all the money the school needs? This is what I said above, the cognitive difference in fundamental concepts. In addition, even if many alumni become millions, tens of millions and billionaires, not everyone is willing to donate. In the current social environment in China, many people who have made a lot of money are likely to think that "I earned all this wealth by myself, what does it have to do with my alma mater?" This reflects another problem: we have said for many years that people should have a "grateful heart", but having a "grateful heart" needs to be put into action, not verbally.
