Before You Say Yes: Gift Acceptance Policy Review

Not every gift is the right gift for your organization—and knowing when to pause, ask questions, or decline can be just as important as making the ask. Join Colleen Campbell, a nonprofit attorney, for a practical conversation about how gift acceptance policies help fundraisers navigate donor restrictions, unusual contributions, and gifts that may create unexpected costs or obligations.
Through examples and discussion, explore what a useful policy should include, who should participate in gift acceptance decisions, and when to involve leadership or legal counsel. Leave with a clearer understanding of how to put a policy into practice and approach sensitive donor conversations while protecting your organization’s mission and maintaining strong relationships.
