The promise to make a charitable donation is not enforceable because it is a one-sided promise, even if the charity makes a commitment in return-such as a promise to name a building after the donor, or to use the money in a certain way-it has made a commitment.

A promise to make a charitable donation can be enforceable if the charity relies on that promise to its detriment, such as by starting construction on a building named after the donor or allocating resources based on the promised funds. This reliance can create a binding obligation under the legal principle of promissory estoppel.
