One of my company's (I work for a very large well known company) business partners decided to donate a large amount of $$ for a charity ride that I am fundraising for and I guess some other business partners found out and didn't exactly like it. They thought the company that donated was trying to buy more of our business which is totally not the case. The President of the company who donated is an avid cyclist and also has an illness which would prompt her to donate. She does rides like this all the time. They were trying to do something good, support a cause, and help me out! Now other members of the company that donated have been banned from donating to my cause... I guess the issue was with the amount that was donated. I had no idea she was going to donate so much, nor did I have any control over that.

Did I do something wrong? Is this an ethics thing that I am missing? They donated to charity, not to me directly!
