HiWhen you receive a tribute gift (either honor or memorial) do you send a letter to both the donor and the honoree or family of the deceased? If so, what information do you include? Do you specifically ask the donor for permission to send a card to the honoree/family? For years, in addition to sending an acknowledgment letter to the donor, we have been automatically sending a card to the honoree/family that includes the donor's name and contact information. Given privacy concerns, we are re-evaluating if this is the best practice and would like to hear how others are handling this.ThanksJess LevySan Francisco Opera415-551-6319
We send an acknowledgement letter to the donor, letting them know we will inform the honoree, or the family of the deceased, of their gift. We also send a notification letter to the honoree or family of deceased, informing of the gift and the name of the donor but do not share any other contact details.
