Hello, Does anyone happen to have good examples of donor acknowledgement letters? I have been assigned to update all our acknowledgment letters that we have been using for over five years now and don't know how they should sound like! I would appreciate any help on this. -Abby

I am not new to using Raiser's Edge or to receipting gifts, but I have an issue I need to share. My manager wants me to send thank you letters to folks for a gift I haven't received from them. We received a check from a company and now someone from the company is saying please send tax receipts...

I am looking for advice re: most precise way to extract cumulative giving information. I require 2 reports: 1) Total cumulative giving and 2) Total giving for 2009.

All of the mail and gifts collected at events or meetings go through our resource specialist who makes copies for those who need them and places all the originals in one folder. She also runs all the credit cards and prints out a summary...
