Colleagues,

Now available in the Resources and Apps section of the University Relations intranet are Honorary and Memorial Gift Notification Guidelines. The Donor Services Honorary and Memorial Gift Notification Process makes it possible for an honoree to receive a letter notifying them of a gift given in their honor. This process also makes it possible for a widow and/or family member to receive a letter notifying them of gifts given in memory of their deceased loved one. For your convenience, the guidelines are attached.
