Dear Friends,
I have been recently received an executive order to change a long standing policy, effective immediately, to include donor name, address, and amounts for all scholarship acknowledgement notifications we send to the scholarship contacts. This is non-negotiable.
I am gathering information to send to my Vice President regarding how to implement this policy change. I would also like to share with him information regarding what other institutions are currently doing. I am hoping you will each reply.
1. My institution sends acknowledgment notification to the scholarship contacts when:
Any gift is given
Only when the gift denotes in honor/memory
I don't send notifications
2. What does your institution provide in your notifications:
Donor name only
Donor name and address
We provide donor name, address, and amounts
3. When the original scholarship contacts are deceased, does your institution change the contact to another family member (if known)?
4. Any other pieces of advice, links, etc. you feel might be helpful.
Also, the Donor Bill of Rights mentions, "to be assured that information about their donation is handled with respect and with confidentiality to the extent provided by law". Can anyone help me with concrete information that clarifies "defined by law". I live in Tennessee and my searches are not finding fruit.
Carolyn
