Is it the question of anonymity really a 'null point'? I agree that there are many reasons why a benefactor might want to secure anonymity. Of course, in any situation where there is a big sum of money and anonymous benefactor, something of an air of mystery is bound to be generated - such curiousity is only to be exptected and is quite natural. However, given that the whole thing seems rather complicated and unclear, it's maybe not an unreasonable issue to raise. Look at it another way. If a benefactor simply donates a sum of money and says, "get on with it" and it's then clear exactly what this money's being used for, then that's fine. That's not the case here, I don't believe.
Nobody is suggesting the benefactor be 'outed', I'm just asking for a bit more clarity on what is taking place.
BTW I notice you addressed me as 'Stuart'. That's fine, for me personally, I just chose SRB cos I liked it, and there's no secret over my identity. Just wondering if it's now policy to use real names rather than initials.
