How Do I Notify Family of Memorial Donations?

Notify the Family of the Memorial Gift

You should thank them for choosing your organization as recipients of the memorial gifts. Then, let them know the names and contact information of the people who donated. Generally, it is not best practice to include the amounts of each donation.

How do you write a memorial donation letter?

Here's what to write on the association or charitable organization correspondence:

  1. The name of the deceased.
  2. The address of the deceased.
  3. The name of a close living family member.
  4. The address of the living family member.
  5. Your name.

What is the etiquette for memorial donations?

Many surviving loved ones and attendees place cash in sympathy cards and then drop off those cards at the funeral or memorial service. If the immediate family requested donations for a specific charity, cause or organization, you should not make your gift in cash directly to the family.
