STEWARDSHIP<br />

Stewardship, the careful and responsible<br />

management of our mission and campaign,<br />

reflects the value we place on each donor and<br />

each donation.<br />

Thank-you notes are a must, not to mention<br />

an IRS necessity. Be sure to add a<br />

handwritten line to every letter you send.<br />

Send thanks by email too—be creative.<br />

Consider thank-you events for your<br />

Benefactors and larger donors. Decide with<br />

BQLI Study Day<br />

your committee what type of event will be<br />

developed for each level of giving. <strong>The</strong>se events should be very social, with only a<br />

few minutes devoted to Torah Fund. If you give any sort of gift to your donors, be<br />

sure to keep it to a token—a bookmark or a book from Women’s League.<br />

Stewardship also concerns how you handle the money you have received for the<br />

Torah Fund Campaign. You show respect for the women who made these donations<br />

by keeping careful records and by turning in the money promptly. Responsible and<br />

respectful handling of their money shows people that the cause is important and<br />

that they are important as well.<br />
