When asked to make a quilt for a fundraiser, I consider it my 'donation'. I have, in the past, involved others, accepted contributions and ideas for design and fabric choices. It has been my experience that many hands do not always make lighter work. The more people involved means a wider variety of opinions, people who contribute more money sometimes think they have more influence, feathers are ruffled when their design idea wasn't chosen, (people who don't quilt have a great knack for choosing the most difficult, intricate patterns) etc.... it just became more stressful for me, since I was trying to appease everyone's ideas. Now, when asked, which is pretty frequently, I nod, smile, and say, "Sure, no problem!" The fundraising people are happy with the contribution and I can just do my own thing! Just my own experience, others mileage may vary.
