We are in the process of purging files, and have some donors that are deceased - how long does everyone keep hard copied of donor acknowledement and other file materials, keeping in mind that there may be estates some years after the donors are deceased. I need to present some ideas to the team, and am wondering what others are doing.
Off topic but thinking about what to do with the information....could you digitize everything and then store it all that way....say anything 10 years or older. The initial project would take awhile to do but then it would just be an annual project from there. This way you can look for information and then print off anything you might need. Who knows....in the future we may be able to attach all these documents to Tessitura accounts.
