Acceptance of any contribution, gift or grant is at the discretion of Godwin Consulting. Godwin Consulting will not accept any gift unless it can be used or expended consistently with the purpose and mission of Godwin Consulting.
No irrevocable gift, whether outright or life-income in character, will be accepted if under any reasonable set of circumstances the gift would jeopardize the donor’s financial security.
Godwin Consulting will refrain from providing advice about the tax or other treatment of gifts and will encourage donors to seek guidance from their own professional advisers to assist them in the process of making their donation.
Godwin Consulting will provide acknowledgments to donors meeting tax requirements for property received as a gift. However, except for gifts of cash and publicly traded securities, no value shall be ascribed to any receipt or other form of substantiation of a gift received by Godwin Consulting.
Godwin Consulting will respect the intent of the donor relating to gifts for restricted purposes and those relating to the desire to remain anonymous. With respect to anonymous gifts, Godwin Consulting will restrict information about the donor to only those staff members with a need to know.
Godwin Consulting will not compensate, whether through commissions, finders' fees, or other means, any third party for directing a gift or a donor to Godwin Consulting.
