You should celebrate the impact of a gift rather than focusing on the gift amount.

• A. True
• B. It depends on the donor
• C. Always
• D. Never

Answer: (B)

The idea being tested is that how you recognize a gift should hinge on the outcomes achieved and the donor’s preferences, not the gift size. Celebrating what the gift made possible helps people see the real difference their generosity creates and strengthens connection to the mission. But donors vary in how they want to be acknowledged: some appreciate public recognition of the impact, others prefer privacy or want the focus to stay on the results rather than the dollar amount. So the best stance is that it depends on the donor—ask their preference, share impact stories with their consent, and tailor the celebration accordingly. The extremes don’t fit: always focusing on impact ignores privacy and preferences, never celebrating impact ignores the value of showing how gifts translate into change, and treating the statement as universally true misses the donor-centered nuance.
