The Futility of Educating Donors

Far from it. Nearly everyone has a set of interests that they know a lot about, pursue with passion and give meaningful effort to educate themselves about.

In my own circle of friends, there are people who are uncommonly educated about Thai cooking, church vestments, 19th-century string quartets, stadium architecture and the history of golf. For reasons I don’t fully understand, I’m a sucker for geographic curiosities. (There’s an enclave of India that’s inside an enclave of Bangladesh that’s inside an enclave of India that’s inside Bangladesh. That is just super cool, as far as I’m concerned.)
