Large Corporate Donors to Public Schools

Now this is what I call school fundraising.

Project LIFT to raise $55M for West Charlotte schools

I know it's not technically school fundraising, more of corporate fundraising and foundation type grants and support but it's pretty big time.  I do see large donations as being a possible help in the battle against shrinking school budgets.   Not sure how it scales, etc. and I'm certainly not an expert in this area so I best stop there.

Any thoughts?  Just chime in!
