SIR Foundation Discovery Campaign Guidelines
As the SIR Foundation enters a Capital Campaign, it is
vital to have in place standards to govern the acceptance,
counting, management, and recognition of gifts made by donors to
meet Campaign objectives. This document sets forth these various
campaign counting and acceptance standards.
I. CAMPAIGN SOLICITATION PERIOD
The active campaign solicitation period is from
January 1, 2007 to December 31, 2008. Donors may make
Campaign commitments beyond this period until December 31,
2011. All gifts and gift commitments which meet the SIR
Foundation Gift Acceptance Policy and are initiated from
January 1, 2007 – December 31, 2011, will be counted
toward the Campaign Goal.
In addition, the Campaign will count selected gift
commitments made specifically toward the goals of the
Campaign, but prior to January 1, 2007.
II. CAMPAIGN PURPOSES
The Campaign seeks funds for the following core areas:
- Clinical Trial and Registry Development
- Research Grants and Awards
- Educational Initiatives
The Foundation will also recognize named endowments which
are established with a minimum gift commitment of $100,000
and for the purposes above or otherwise unrestricted.
Further, the Campaign is comprehensive in its counting and
crediting of the following types of Annual Fund gifts and
Special Project gifts (consistent with the purposes of the
Campaign).
III. GIFT ACCEPTANCE
The SIR Foundation Executive Committee may accept specific
gift arrangements other than those detailed in this policy
for campaign credit on the recommendation of the Campaign
Co-Chairs and the Foundation Executive Director. Further, the
SIR Foundation Executive Committee reserves the right to
reject gifts which do not confirm to this and other
Foundation policies and/or which it deems to not be in the
best interests of the Foundation.
IV. DONOR STEWARDSHIP
The SIR Foundation recommends that all donors work with a
qualified financial advisor in considering the structure and
amount of their commitment to the Foundation. Further, the
SIR Foundation subscribes to the Donor Bill of Rights.
