February Professional Development | Why a Gift Acceptance Policy Saves Embarrassment and Reduces Confusion

The recording of this program is available HERE.

The slides for this program are available for download HERE.

 

Every not for profit no matter what its size needs a gift acceptance policy.

Why?

To protect you from having to receive gifts you don’t want (are there such things???? Yes!!!) and to ensure the donor is aware of your organization’s values.

Our Zoom session will cover such topics as what are our organizations’ blues? How do I discover them and who codifies them? What is an example of a gift I don’t want? Are there such things as gifts we do prefer?

We will cover “CYA” or OUT clauses that give the organization freedom to accept a restricted gift that can be converted to other uses (How many scholarships for students from the Western Reserve of America who study organ and harpsichord does your organization need???)

And we will discuss the possibility of returning a gift and under what circumstances.
