Subject: [Organizers] anonymous donations
Hi,
At a recent board meeting the subject of how to handle
anonymous donations came up. We are wondering how other
organizations handle the issue of who on the board knows who the
donor is. How do you record the information and where is that
information stored so as to protect the anonymity of the donor?
Thanks,

PS: We are a 501(c)(3) organization
Orin - in our local group such donations have
been handled _only_ by the
Treasurer.
Also being a 501(c)(3) appropriate paperwork was sent to the donator to
be used for tax purposes.
Meanwhile only the treasurer knows who . Written minutes state things
like "an anonymous gift of _____ dollars has been received with
instructions that we use the money for _____". Minutes are posted in
our newsletter so in theory the giver will see that it has been received
and stated what they intended the use for (if they gave one).
