=== Configuration of the Master Documents  ===
 +
 
 +
There are two documents to be issued upon reception of an ''In Memoriam Donation'': the thank-you letter to the donor and the letter to the family.       
 +
 
 +
=== Thank-you Letter to the Donor ===
 +
 
 +
The thank-you letter to the donor is a letter that is sent to the donor to thank him/her for the donation received and to mention that the family of the deceased will be notified for the donation made in memory of the deceased person. The difference between&nbsp; the " standard thank-you letter " and the " thank-you letter to the donor of an ''In Memoriam donation'' " is in the use of the merge fields.
 +
 
 +
In order to create the master document, you need to choose the " Donation transaction " type of document so that the " Deceased " and " Notify " merge fields become available. These fields contain the long greeting of the deceased and of the person to notify for the donations received. In the thank-you letter sent to the donor, it will be written that the donation in memory of " Deceased " has been received and that " Notify " will be notified of the donation.

There are two documents to issue upon the reception of an ''In Memoriam Gift'': the thank you letter to the donor and the letter to the family.

==== Letter to the Family  ====
  
−
==== Thank you letter to the donor  ====
+
The letter to the family is meant to inform the family of the list of individuals who have made a donation in memory of the deceased person. It is also a way to thank the family for suggesting that people make an ''In Memoriam donation''.
  
−
The thank you letter to the donor is a letter meant to thank him or her for his or her donation and to confirm that the family of the deceased person will be notified of the donation that has been made in memory of the deceased. The difference between&nbsp; the "standard thank you letter" and the "thank you letter to the donor of an ''In Memoriam gift''" is in the use of merge fields.  
+
In order to create a master document, you need to choose the " Memorial donations " type of document. This type of document contains two series of merge fields: The fields related to the information from the file of the person to notify (merge fields starting with Fam_) and the fields related to the information from the file of the deceased (merge fields starting with Dec_). When writing the letter, more information concerning both parties will then become available.

In Memoriam Donation

CAUTION: This document is for VERSION 5 of Prodon. To go to the document for version 4, click here.


Introduction

This document explains the establishment of the In Memoriam donation structure which allows you to manage simple or even complex donations and it also offers the possibility to manage follow-up with the families.

Configuration

Configuration of the Master Documents

There are two documents to be issued upon reception of an In Memoriam Donation: the thank-you letter to the donor and the letter to the family.

Thank-you Letter to the Donor

The thank-you letter to the donor is a letter that is sent to the donor to thank him/her for the donation received and to mention that the family of the deceased will be notified for the donation made in memory of the deceased person. The difference between  the " standard thank-you letter " and the " thank-you letter to the donor of an In Memoriam donation " is in the use of the merge fields.

In order to create the master document, you need to choose the " Donation transaction " type of document so that the " Deceased " and " Notify " merge fields become available. These fields contain the long greeting of the deceased and of the person to notify for the donations received. In the thank-you letter sent to the donor, it will be written that the donation in memory of " Deceased " has been received and that " Notify " will be notified of the donation.

For more details concerning the master documents, consult the " Master Document Management ".

Letter to the Family

The letter to the family is meant to inform the family of the list of individuals who have made a donation in memory of the deceased person. It is also a way to thank the family for suggesting that people make an In Memoriam donation.

In order to create a master document, you need to choose the " Memorial donations " type of document. This type of document contains two series of merge fields: The fields related to the information from the file of the person to notify (merge fields starting with Fam_) and the fields related to the information from the file of the deceased (merge fields starting with Dec_). When writing the letter, more information concerning both parties will then become available.
