Gift Accounting will provide gift receipts for all memorial gifts received by the Foundation. These gift receipts will follow the same format as other gift receipts, with the exception that receipts for memorial gifts will feature an additional field indicating the name(s) of the individual(s) being memorialized. In addition to the Foundation gift receipt, each donor will receive an enhanced memorial gift acknowledgement from Donor Relations & Stewardship. These acknowledgements will confirm that a family member has been notified of the donor’s gift and will include the name(s) of the individual(s) memorialized, the fund to which the gift was credited, the name and address of the family contact, and the toll-free contact number for the Donor Relations & Stewardship. A corresponding memorial gift notice will be sent to the designated family contact. This notification will include the name of the individual memorialized, the fund to which the gift was credited, the name and address of the donor, and the toll-free number for Donor Relations & Stewardship. The family notification further indicates that the University of Georgia and the Foundation have thanked the donor. Actual gift amounts are not included on the donor’s or family contact’s enhanced gift notifications. In all instances, the donor’s actual gift receipt will indicate the amount contributed.
In the event that a large number of memorial gifts are made in remembrance of any one individual, Donor Relations & Stewardship may provide the designated family contacts with periodic reports providing the donor names and addresses. These reports would be provided in lieu of, or in addition to, the individual gift notifications mentioned above (see “Memorial and Honorary Reporting” below).
