DONATION POLICY
Coffee Creek Quilters must “evaluate the impact of receiving in-kind contributions. Organizations should only accept in-kind goods if they can further their mission. Before accepting any donation, ensure it aligns with your organization’s mission and values and assess its impact. Create a gift acceptance policy and share it with donors, explaining the appropriate types of gifts and thresholds for acceptance. If a donation does not significantly impact your mission, it is not worth accepting.”
