Strengthen your organization’s fundraising by joining this practical, interactive session designed to help you draft or audit your Gift Acceptance Policy that protects your mission, manages risk, and builds donor trust. Together we’ll explore what types of gifts you should and should not accept, who inside your organization should review complex or unusual contributions, and how a well-crafted policy can depersonalize tough decisions while still honoring donor intent. You’ll leave with concrete examples, templates, and language you can adapt immediately so your staff and board are aligned, confident, and ready for the next “interesting” gift conversation that comes your way.
