Good afternoon,

How are others handling the tendency of students to make a dozen (or dozens) of $1.00 gifts during things like "power hour" giving challenges during your Day of Giving?  How are you handling these gifts when they use different names (those of family members, friends, etc.) but payment comes from one credit card days later?  Are you accepting this extra work and these extra records for the excitement of the event?  Or are you enforcing policies in some way?

This was the first year we experienced the phenomenon.  A lot of research went into figuring out who was related to whom, and now we will have these records to steward in one way or another in perpetuity.  I can see this getting even further out of hand in the future.  Have you found successful strategies to control it?

Thanks,

Beth
