For this reason, the Mediation Center wishes to follow the procedures in the document in order to appropriately acknowledge donors, and to provide donors with the appropriate tax documentation of their gift. These policies promote good donor relations and fulfill the obligations of the Mediation Center (MC) under the rules of the IRS and the North Carolina Secretary of State’s Office.  \n1) Process for Receipt of Cash and In-kind Gifts  \na) The Mediation Center accepts gifts of cash and in-kind goods and services. Any donor-imposed restrictions must be appropriate to the mission and current activities of the MC. In the event that a restricted cash gift or an in-kind gift is received that is not appropriate to the current activities of the MC, the Executive Director notifies the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors who will decide if the gift will be accepted.  \nb) The Executive Director is made aware of all gifts on the day they are received.  \nc) A letter acknowledging the gift is prepared. For the purpose of this document, an acknowledgement letter is defined as written correspondence to the donor which serves as both a receipt and a thank you letter.  \nd) Acknowledgement letters are not provided for the donation of volunteer time regardless of the service performed, as this is not considered a deductible expense under IRS rules. Thank you letters and other volunteer recognition are always appropriate.  \ne) Acknowledgement letters have the original signature of the Executive Director and every effort is made to add a personal note to all computer generated letters.  \nf) In the event that the Executive Director is unavailable for an extended period of time, plans should be made to have an officer of the Board of Directors sign acknowledgement letters and make calls to donors as appropriate.  \ng) For gifts of cash over $100, the Executive Director places a phone call to personally thank the donor. An effort should be made to call the donor within a week of receipt of the gift.  \nh) For major gifts of cash, defined as those exceeding $250, an officer of the Board of Directors sends a hand-written thank you note. This note is not a substitute for the acknowledgement letter.  \ni) While the Mediation Center does not determine the value of in-kind gifts, the Executive Director determines what additional steps beyond an acknowledgement letter, if any, are appropriate to thank the donor.  \nj) The MC makes every effort to mail the donor acknowledgement letter within a week of receipt of the gift. All letters should be mailed within two weeks.  \nk) Donations are not to be deposited into the bank until acknowledgement letters are mailed.  \n2) Event-Related Donations and Sponsorships  \na) For items donated for a silent auction, acknowledgement letters should be mailed as soon as possible, although it is acceptable to mail the letter shortly after the event. Silent auction acknowledgement letters follow the same processes as other in-kind gifts.  \nb) For corporate sponsorships up to $100, an acknowledgement letter is mailed after the event takes place.  \nc) For corporate sponsorships over $100, an acknowledgement letter is mailed upon receipt of the gift, and an additional thank-you letter is sent after the event.  \nd) Acknowledgement letters are not provided for the purchase of an item at a silent auction, or for the purchase or raffle tickets. Executive Director will determine what steps, if any, are appropriate to thank the person (phone call, handwritten note) .  \n3) Content of Acknowledgement Letters for Cash and In-Kind Gifts  \na) General acknowledgement letters are changed to include up-to-date content no less often than every three months. Wherever possible, the content of acknowledgement letters should be specific to the campaign or event that  \nprompted the donation. Every effort is made to ensure that a","cbCaihLLKG6SY629","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihLLKG6SY629","pdf",128830,"English","# Donor Acknowledgement Policies\n## Process for Receipt of Cash and In-kind Gifts\n## Event-Related Donations and Sponsorships\n## Content of Acknowledgement Letters for Cash and In-Kind Gifts\n## Review of Donor Acknowledgement Policies","[{\"question\":\"How does the Mediation Center handle restricted cash or in-kind gifts that conflict with its current activities?\",\"answer\":\"The Executive Director notifies the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors, which decides whether the gift will be accepted.\"},{\"question\":\"Are acknowledgement letters provided for volunteer time donations?\",\"answer\":\"No. Volunteer time is not considered a deductible expense under IRS rules, although thank-you and other volunteer recognition remain appropriate.\"},{\"question\":\"What information must acknowledgement letters include for cash and in-kind gifts?\",\"answer\":\"Letters include the cash amount and receipt date, and for in-kind gifts they list donated goods and generally do not estimate value unless the donor provided a fair market value estimate in advance.\"},{\"question\":\"How often are donor acknowledgement letters updated and how frequently is the policy reviewed?\",\"answer\":\"Letter content is updated at least every three months, and the policy is reviewed by the Board no less often than every three years.\"}]","Donor Acknowledgement Policies - Document Policies | PDF",1789488568]
