Is “A Donation in Your Name” a Good Gift or a Bad One?

Have you ever gotten this as a gift?  Or given it as a gift, then wondered if the person HATED you for it?

Someone polled 20,000 Americans and asked if a “DONATION IN YOUR NAME” is actually a good gift, or a bad one.

They didn’t ask about specific non-profits.  Just any charity the person might pick because it’s important to them.

It turns out most Americans DO think it’s a good gift.  56% said yes.

Another 38% said it’s not good or bad.  More like, “Oh, cool, whatever.”

If you think it’s a fully LAME gift, you’re not alone, but you’re almost alone.  Just 6% of Americans agree.
