Chaim 87 There are several problems with your suggestion
$1k per student would not solve the problem. It would be nice but it is not much of a help (ask middle income family paying $30k or more in tuition)
BMG is able to get a lot of money from pell grants, not all is fundraised. BMG also has a massive fundraising operation
If there are 400,000 children in schools and at least half would qualify, that still means raising $200 million every single year. If they had trouble raising $9 million for this last campaign how do you propose they do that
Most importantly, it does not help anyone to say “the OTHER guy should raise $100 miilion buck, no big whoop.” If you yourself said I will personaly raise $50 million, anyone out there to match me, now we are talking
