Charitable donations

Dear Val

Having been the CEO for a small charity before I came to France I know how valued donations from the public are. However just as important is the knowlege that a sum would be repeated for a number of years as that enabled us to budjet properly. What we valued most of all were donors who said I will give you this for X years and then it will stop because we will be moving our money on elsewhere so being fair to all.

Consequentially can I ask that TAG rather than adding more charities to the list keeps to its current number but lets them know that in one or two years the donations will moe on elsewhere. I know how incredibly sucessful TAG is being in raising money but I still would advocate keeping the number of beneficiaries small and then moving on.
