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!
