at Kaiyae Park. He said that by
making use of a “Fair Share’'
plan for giving, all persons can
make a sufficient contribution
because (by this method) each
person’s gift is scaled propor
tionate to the amount of his
yearly salary.
The “Fair Share” approach for
inJividual UF gifts also applies
to corporate giving, because it
allows similar-size firms to pro
vide comparable UF support,
said Mr. Galligan.
