Hey Everyone!
I am evaluating our current Gift Membership process to see if there is a way to make it better. I would love to hear how your museum, zoo or aquarium does gift memberships. Right now we use Contrib-2 on TNEW for gift memberships, the money goes to on-account and the recipients information is collected via the form that creates a CSI. On the backend we apply the on-account money in contribution entry to assign the membership to the recipient. Does anyone do a different process? I would love to hear about it!
Thanks!

Hi,
We do it the way you describe.
I'm looking for a way to identify gift membership recipients to exclude them from email lists (at least until they receive their gift which may be a surprise).
Hi Nathaniel - we use the benefactor field of gift memberships to ID these gift memberships & combined with membership initiation date make sure that we don't communicate with these members until after that date so as not to spoil the surprise!
Nathaniel, we do the same. We use the Benefactor field to exclude those memberships as well. I didn't even think of using the initiation date as Jo explained to help with timeframe management for communications.
