Further to your June 2023 article “The Giving Plea,” whilst you mention competition as a cause for reduced participation, you should note that Princeton itself creates such competition and erodes the gift pool through its Tiger Athletics Give Day (TAGD). I was not aware my TAGD gift would not count towards Annual Giving until Reunions, almost too late. Why not include the TAGD gifts and donors in AG? Whilst TAGD can be targeted, it’s all going to support Princeton, and will reflect well on our giving records, and encourage giving to TAGD as well.
