SUMMARY:Why a Gift Acceptance Policy Saves Embarrassment and Reduces Confusion
DESCRIPTION:February Professional Development | Why a Gift Acceptance Policy Saves Embarrassment and Reduces Confusion\nThe recording of this program is available HERE. \nThe slides for this program are available for download HERE. \n  \nEvery not for profit no matter what its size needs a gift acceptance policy. \nWhy? \nTo 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. \nOur 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? \nWe 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???) \nAnd we will discuss the possibility of returning a gift and under what circumstances. \n\n \nPresented by Annie Fritschner\, ACFRE \nAnnie Fritschner\, ACFRE has been president of the WNC AFP Chapter and serves on the AFP Global Foundation Board for America. She has worked in all aspects of fundraising and development and is a super fan of the new generation of professional fundraisers.\nRegister

Since the initial survey went live\, a Canadian survey was published with a report that will follow later this Fall.\n\nJoin us for a six-month update to the survey responses answering questions:\n\nHow is donor engagement being maintained?\nWill new circumstances affecting traditional donor relations activities such as campus visits\, events\, and interaction with beneficiaries demand new tools?\nWhat technologies will prove both practical and effective for thanking donors?\nHow are pandemic-related changes affecting team structure? What tasks are affected?\nWhat activities are most important given the limitations presented?\nWhat metrics are most beneficial during a sustained crisis response?\n\n\n \n \nPresented by Anne Manner-McLarty\nAnne Manner-McLarty is lead strategist for the donor recognition firm\, Heurista and managing editor of the Journal of Donor Relations and Stewardship.

In presenting Privilege\, Power & Philanthropy\, Danae Jones Aicher will guide us in thinking more deeply about who we approach for fundraising and how\, and how — without an understanding of power and privilege — we might be upholding and maintaining old systems of oppression. \n \n \nPresented by Danae Jones Aicher\nDanae Jones Aicher is an experienced Equity and Inclusion facilitator with a gift for creating brave spaces for people to address difficult topics around race within their organizations.
