  • 1.  101 Training/Webinar on Basics of Gift Administration

    Posted 06-08-2026 08:55 AM

    Hello! Does anyone have a recommendation for a resource, training, or webinar that provides the fundamentals of gift administration? I'm thinking of something that would cover the most common types of charitable gifts (direct, DAFs, QCDs, etc); the best practices for coding them; and the legal requirements and best practices for acknowledging them. Thanks in advance!

    If possible, you should attend the Midwest Meeting of the Minds Conference in Chicago next month. There is a session dedicated to this topic - and a host of other relevant sessions!

    What if we aren't able to attend either of these events?

    Keep checking the aasp website for new webinars coming up. Many deal with various aspects of gift administration. I always conduct an annual session on IRS and gift acceptance matters. Also look through the aasp Knowledge Base for a large number of Best Practices papers on many aspects of gift administration.

    Finally, I have helped produce four books through CASE on numerous Advancement Services topics. I am pretty sure the 3rd and 4th editions are available through the CASE Bookstore.
