A donor makes a major gift, the check arrives, and then… nothing. For more than 90 days, a very large check sat untouched in a finance department because no one knew what to do with it. And no one asked for help. It is a powerful reminder that fundraising doesn't end when the donor says yes; every department has a role in protecting the trust that made the gift possible. Getting the gift may be our job, but honoring the gift is everyone's responsibility.
