Good morning,
I have been asked to inquire how other organizations handle Anonymous gifts when processing the funds. Thanks in advance for your insight on the subject.
Thanks,

Bobby,
We put the contribution on the donor’s account and then on the program listing we type in “Anonymous” as the program name.

Marie,
First thanks to everyone that has shared their thoughts. We know who the donor is but they are making the gift as Anonymous. In the past we have put all anonymous gifts on a record of Anonymous. It is now being suggested that we put the anonymous gift on the Donor record with the Program listing of Anonymous. Which I see now that some organizations are doing the Anonymous Programs Name listing. I believe our business rules are about to change.
Which brought up another question in our meeting today, if the Donor says, I wish this $100,000 gift to be anonymous, can it be color coded to show it as Anonymous? Seems like I saw something like this at one of the conferences.

When you say Anonymous, do you mean that your organization does not know who the gift is from, or that the donor wants to assume anonymity in publications?

Let's say they make a 5k gift, and a 10k gift. If they only want to be listed under the 5k with their name, we use the Donation Level to override the amount their membership or total giving would pull. That way their 10k gift is protected from being listed.
