 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).
