Good morning all,
Can anyone share samples of their acknowledgement letters for Stock gifts? We provide the following statement in ours, but still get donors calling/emailing insisting on being told the full amount:
"The IRS does not permit Hartwick College to appraise the value of your donation. However, I can state that your entire gift will go to charitable purposes and that you received no goods or services in return."
I would love to hear how others handle these situations and see if there is a way we can adjust the wording to make it more palatable and understanding for our persistent donors.
