The Project > Donating to the Project
2011 Donations
Saoirse:
TPC, whatever you decide to do/whatever has to be done is perfectly fine with me.
The Peregrine Chick:
As I said folks, I'm thinking about it though I have heard from other charities that public acknowledgement of donations may be a requirement and I'm trying to find out if this is the case. That would be full name, first and last, not the first name and first initial of last name as I was thinking of doing. If it is, I will be adding in the option for folks to withhold their name from publication (i.e., "anonymous donor") if that is their desire. My main question is, if we do have to "publish" the names, where do we have to do it? Online or in an annual report or ?? When I do have that information, I will let everyone know.

" What I have been thinking about doing after the next maintenance closure is post a list of donors (first name & first initial of last name) for the 2010 and 2011 calendar years so folks can confirm what they should have received and from which year. I will also include those who donate through the All Charities Campaign even though they (mostly) received their receipts from the Campaign not the Project."
I have to say that I have great reservations about posting any sort of list.
There are quite a few members who have chosen to use their first names as a member - ie pam, dennis, carly, bev.....etc.
So if their name shows up or not, all the people that read the forum will be able to determine if they have contributed or not.
Secondly, a great many members have chosen to correspond with each other and have revealed personal information. So a first name with a surname initial does not guarantee anonimity.
Thirdly, it is no persons business how one contributes - cheque or all charities.
All charitities reveals that one is a provincial employee, again, nothing that should be put on the public forum.
Just my opinion
The Peregrine Chick:
If folks have questions, send me a pm or an email with details that way I can respond directly but without worrying about privacy issues :) Thanks!!

I'm glad you posted this Rose ... I'll email you out a copy of your receipt again!
I've been concerned about the receipts I sent out before/after the strike, I've been hearing horror stories about things that never arrived from friends of mine but so far I have only had one person who bought a book that never arrived. We waited a more than reasonable amount of time just in case. What I have been thinking about doing after the next maintenance closure is post a list of donors (first name & first initial of last name) for the 2010 and 2011 calendar years so folks can confirm what they should have received and from which year. I will also include those who donate through the All Charities Campaign even though they (mostly) received their receipts from the Campaign not the Project. I'm hoping that by doing this it will help folks confirm they have received all their receipts and then if there are problems/questions, folks can contact me directly to get replacements
