Hello everyone.   A local country club holds an event that benefits our foundation.  Previously, they would gather checks from their members and forward them on to us so we could record to the donor record and send tax receipts.

This year they would like to add the donation to their members' accounts to be billed to them and the country club would provide us with one check and the donor/gift details.

Is this something that would require an agreement between Sutter and the Country Club to ensure that their members can be counted as the legal donors?

Thank you so much for your advice.  I know this has been covered, but I was unable to find a match to my question.

Thanks John.  Are you saying that each person who donates must have an agreement between them and the country club?  Or can Sutter simply have an agreement with the country club designating them as an agent on our behalf for this purpose?

Does the fact that they are proposing to add this donation to their "bill" the reason for the concern that the donation is "voluntary"?

Thanks again, Dale
