布克·T·华盛顿《力争上游》· Up from Slavery · 领导
In the city of Boston I have rarely called upon an individual for funds that I have not been thanked for calling, usually before I could get an opportunity to thank the donor for the money. In that city the donors seem to feel, in a large degree, that an honour is being conferred upon them in their being permitted to give. Nowhere else have I met with, in so large a measure, this fine and Christlike spirit as in the city of Boston, although there are many notable instances of it outside that city. I repeat my belief that the world is growing in the direction of giving. I repeat that the main rule by which I have been guided in collecting money is to do my full duty in regard to giving people who have money an opportunity for help.

白话
布克·华盛顿说，在波士顿募捐，几乎每次都被感谢，而且往往在他还没来得及感谢捐款人之前，对方先感谢他。那里的人似乎觉得，能捐款是一种荣誉。他认为这种精神像基督一样高尚，并相信世界正朝着更愿意给予的方向走。他募款的主原则是：尽到自己的责任，给有钱人一个帮助的机会。换句话说，募捐不是求人，而是把机会送到人面前。做法是：把请求重新定义为“邀请参与”，并真诚感谢对方。
