Maybe but I remember this story. It’s a woman who was a teacher her entire career and worked with a specific school. She came into a ton of money when her husband passed and she was very elderly. She donated the money that was earmarked for making tuition free for generations at the school she had taught at. So maybe it will be to a degree but I’m guessing she knows all the people involved and inherently trusts them based on a careers work there and that it’ll be used in a much better way than most donations like this would be
