Hello all, This time of year many organizations are still managing the challenges of saving envelopes, back-dating (!) contributions, or trying to ascertain a "gift date" when, in fact, this practice is not an IRS requirement and has been out of favor for quite some time. Attached is a document prepared and shared annually via fundsvcs.org by a well-known gift administration expert providing guidance for how to move past this out-dated practice. FYI The LA Phil hasn't saved envelopes or used post-marks for 3 years and I would be happy to chat with anyone about how to make this change. Happy New Year! Anita
