How Can We Be More Effective?

1. Whenever possible personalize 2. A picture is worth a thousand words 3. A response mechanism 4. Solicitation Code & Fund Name and Number 5. If you are inviting credit card gifts a signature is (required) 5 Things TO Include

1. A request for the CVV code 2. Too much text, or to many giving options 3. A promise that you cannot keep short or long term 4. The wrong or mis-spelled donor name 5. Donor information that you cannot follow through on 5 Things NOT TO Include

Become a Champion of the Donor Bill of RightsDonor Bill of Rights

Quid Pro Quo Contributions  Fundraising Events:  OU has a procedure for determining the Fair Market Value, (FMV), for goods and services provided to donors at fundraising events where something of value is exchanged for a payment.  OU has an Excel template to help determine the FMV of the goods and services.  Work with your Development Officer to determine FMV for any Fundraising Events.  The FMV must be communicated to the donor on marketing materials.

Gift Register

When you work with us on your solicitation, many times we can bypass the gift register and use a label to give us the information needed for gift entry: (Thank you Alison for this wonderful example!)

 IRS says we must keep 3 years of solicitations to prove we don’t discriminate.  Bypass the gift register for split gifts.  Straight gifts can be returned directly to gift accounting – donor receives receipt quicker – you get data on reports sooner.  Solicitation code further defines your ask – remember, garbage in, garbage out.  I won’t be calling you. Advantages to Working W/Us?
