are imposed on the donor, not on the person being donated to. Also, the amount that can be given from one person to one person without any gift taxes even entering into the picture is $15,000, which is probably why only $100K was given.

Solving long term problems is the job of the various DMV offices in the fifty states, making damned good and sure that they quickly process drunk driving reports from other states to suspend licenses of their residents.

Also, a large gift from a single individual often starts the ball rolling for other people to chip in, too.
