“It upsets me when I see the names of donors in larger lettering than the name of the institution.”
Obviously it’s good for marketing.
“Do you think there is anything wrong to give for recognition or fame rather than shtil aheit?”
It is impossible to know how you would feel if you were in that position.
As someone who has not given millions in order to have my name on a building, it irks me when I see a name on a building with large letters “donated by xx” and in smaller letters “in memory of yy”. But if people are willing to pay thousands to have someone else’s name on their watch, or hundreds to have someone else’s name on your bag, then it makes sense to want to pay millions to have your own name on a building.
