Mike, you don't have to give any handouts (as you call them) to anyone you do not want to. Handouts, er, donations are not taxes, fees or fines. They are voluntary. Be a Scrooge if you're rich, plead poverty if you're poor or just keep quiet and move along...LOL! It's up to you.
As for the property owner eating rice and beans, at least they're eating healthy, healthy enough to sustain even the poor Third World people to the point they can breed like rabbits! If that property owner is THAT impoverished by the property tax load, they can cash out quite nicely! Property ain't cheap these days. $100K buys a lot of beans and rice and whatever else you want and that's for a single lot. It goes up from there.

Why ask for money AFTER the fireworks have been purchased? Why not ask in advance and forget it if you do not get the donations.

Typically we do not go to the fireworks display because it is too crowded.
I find it amazing how many organizations are wanting handouts at a time that gas is through the roof which is causing everything to be more expensive.
The thing about government is no matter what, no matter how bad the economy is, they get paid. They collect taxes on property regardless of the economy. The owner of the property could be eating rice and beans but no relief from the tax amount it remains consistent.
