    It’s only anonymous to the public. I imagine the donor and the university are in frequent direct contact.

        Have you never donated to a “charitable” cause before? You can usually talk to them and ask to not have your name released. There’s no legal requirement for name disclosure so it’s up to the institution’s policy.

          Yes, I’ve donated plenty, and typically anonymously, since I’m not trying to use others to advance a personal agenda.

          Non-disclosure would be something quite different from anonymity.
