Because I think a lot of people will say, “Well, I’m gonna save the Tennis Shoe Club, so I’m gonna send money there because it sounds right.” Well, 90% of it goes to somebody’s salary and somebody’s car and 10% of it is going to save something. So I don’t think people investigate foundations or funds very often. They just kind of go with a gut response, or they go with somebody else’s recommendation. “Oh, give to them, they’re good,” without checking to find know where the money goes and how it works. And we found, with the fund, if we gave money to World Wildlife Fund, for instance, for their program on sustainable fishing technology, we had trouble getting acknowledged for it. They would do a great job of talking about their program, but we were sort of over here. They didn’t really spend a lot of energy saying, “Oh, and by the way we got some money from SeaWorld and Busch Gardens to do this.” So we’ve found, in the long run, it’s almost better to do it directly with small entities and small groups that wanna work on the specific projects and give money directly to them in exchange for a progress report and an accounting of how they spent the money.
