I think it is matter of the giver's attitude. Not about money.
If he thinks it will pay for his sin (whatever it is), it will not. Some
people try to calm their conscience in this way. Then he just needs
salvation!
If he thinks he'll be able to control Royal Ranger by giving money, then you
got to make sure he understands, that he is losing these money. It's not his
anymore. And we will do whatever we want in our program, not what he wants.
If he JUST want to give some money, it's fine!! Let's take it :))
I believe that giver needs to have right attitude. So I would first ask him,
WHY does he want to give these money?
