The Developer is a big boy and doesn't need any help from me in his defense.That being said , some thoughts from my experience. I have participated in many fund raising campaigns in my current home community, over the last 30 yrs. I have chaired many , ie: United Way, Food Resources, Community College capital, and scholarship, Housing Resources, etal. We also have many National campaigns which in most cases will not share proceeds, often have no local offices and don't participate with the local community.Although this does not make them unworthy, it does make it harder to convince many local folks and oganizations to participate with them when they will not reciprocate. I would think that all might benefit if there were some sharing. A bgger event and added energy might produce net gains for both national and local initiatives. (IMHO)
