Their Gifts

A gift is a voluntary transfer of tangible property, including cash, or a transfer in-kind of tangible property, other than cash.

Now that we have the legalese out of the way, we know a gift is so much more.

A gift is a way for your donors and prospects to say, "I believe in what you're organization is doing so much that I want to share a part of myself with you. I want to be a part of your mission."

No matter whether it's time, talent, or treasure a gift given to your organization is something someone worked hard for that they are choosing to part with because what you're organization is doing is more important to them than keeping it.

When viewed through this lens, the awesome responsibility of stewarding donations of all types comes into clear view.
