Discussion, Information
Handling all donations that are deposited into
foundation accounts. If we have each department
enter their gifts, They will also have access to all
the constituent information. If we maintain status
quo, we have to bring in all the other departments
into training

We will also need to create standards up front for
how the information can be used. This is also an
issue for how information can be used university
wide. Also what information do we want to make
available to non advancement university officials?
Most universities have a central processing office
within the foundation or advancement office.
How are we going to handle this?
Colleen says best practice is to have every thing
flow through the foundation. We would have to
figure out how to overcome our staffing hurdle. If we
can’t we have to make sure ALL individuals doing
entry are well trained and we have checks and edits
in place. We would even need to make policies and
procedures require solicitation codes.
Staffing issues are addressed in the gap analysis.
Will we want the APACONS worksheet to be the
primary location for this or do we want to use the
employment history for the primary location?

Have discussion and decide what we want to do

what is going into the new system, how far back

migrated.
