A useful distinction
A proposed gift can carry conditions about how it is used. Whether an organisation can accept them is not settled by enthusiasm or a thank-you message. The relevant decision belongs within its policy and governance process.
Put it into practice
Collect the proposed conditions in a clear draft and refer them to the authorised people. Explain when a response is still pending. Avoid accepting contracts or changing a donor’s stated terms through an informal template copied from this educational journal.
