Universities **love** unrestricted donations to their general fund. But they bow to human nature and accept and even seek all kinds of targeted donations: buildings, rooms, departments, centers, institutes, programs, professorships, scholarships, research projects, curriculum developments projects, and so on. (Of course, the desire to target on the part of donors is also in part a recognition of human nature, that unrestricted funds might be used frivolously or even in a way that the donor considers obnoxious.) I think it would be great So I think it good that you/PSF try doing the same. And do not ignore individuals. Terry Jan Reedy
