Three things about this list seem particularly interesting to me. First, to some degree it indicates what people choose to give money to when they are acting of their own accord, free of pressure from solicitors or emotional appeals from charities. Second, the contributions programs of publicly-held companies almost never allow gifts to churches and synagogues, yet clearly these institutions are what many shareholders would like to support. Third, the gifts made by our shareholders display conflicting philosophies: 130 gifts were directed to organizations that believe in making abortions readily available for women and 30 gifts were directed to organizations (other than churches) that discourage or are opposed to abortion.
在这之中,有三点我认为特别有趣,首先,某种程度可以显示出当人们系依个人意志而非迫于募款人的压力或募款机构感性的诉求时,所可能做出的选择,第二,一般大公司的捐赠计画从未将教堂或犹太教堂列入考虑,但这却是股东心目中最佳的选择之一,第三,股东们所做出的决定有时有明显的冲突,有130笔捐款给支持堕胎的机构团体,而另外有30笔的捐款指定要给反堕胎的机构团体 (扣除宗教机构不算)。
