Apparently in the past day, they’ve removed all the logos from the Microgrants projects and clarified that the grants are unsolicited

    By that dictionary definition, yes, but there’s a connotation of scale and a relationship. For example, your local arts events are often sponsored by local businesses and philanthropists, but if you or I donate $10 I wouldn’t call that a sponsorship.

      Do you or they necessarily approve of those businesses? Is that implied?

      Then are people getting carried away with their imaginations? When I see a “we sponsor” section with logos/names, I don’t assume a substantial amount: could be token for all I know. Quibbling over that when it’s true feels like arguing over inconsequential merit badges.

      Donation recipients should be able to take money from donors who should be able to declare that truth.
