Hello,
On solicitation materials where benefits are provided, does your institution provide an option for the donor to decline benefits? We would like to start to offer this as an option. If so, could you share language or visual? shale@nelson-atkins.org
Also, how do you track in Tessitura?
Thanks,
Sara Hale
Hi Sara,
At 92nd Street Y, we use language on both the mailed form and website that says: I prefer not to receive benefits so my gift will go further in supporting 92Y. (See www.92Y.org/Donate)
We track in the household/individual's membership record. There is a "decline benefits" checkbox that we check when processing gifts should a donor indicate they are declining benefits. When we send mailings with member benefit fulfillment, we suppress anyone who has the declined checkbox checked in their membership record. Hope that helps!
Best,
Melanie Halpern
Awesome, thank you Melanie!
