Don't be fooled, gifts that large are usually not instant cash, either.
It's usually pledged over a period of time, and sometimes it doesn't include the most liquid of assets.
Have heard a couple of stories in the past about a couple of the Pamplin's major donations. Many times those type gifts don't realize the "publicity" amount, and in some it takes years to realize it as expendable cash.

$75 million donation is incredible.

And much of that $75 million is endowed. Designed to provide a $$ stream.**
