donor anonymity

Donor anonymity refers to the practice of keeping the identities of donors confidential, often in contexts like charitable contributions, medical donations, or crowdfunding. This means that the recipient or organization does not disclose who the donor is, ensuring their privacy. Anonymity can encourage more generous giving, as donors may feel more comfortable contributing without public recognition or scrutiny. It also protects donors from potential backlash or unwanted attention. While some donors choose to remain anonymous, others prefer to be acknowledged for their contributions, leading to varying policies across different organizations and causes.
