In Service: The Column of the ADRP President
Keri Kallaway
Senior Director, Donor Relations and Gift Services
Children's Hospital Colorado Foundation
Dear fellow ADRPers,
Lesson’s Learned. Throughout my career, I’ve crossed paths with many people who have shaped my professional style, work philosophy, approach to management, and the belief that learning never ends.
But quite possibly, the most influential and best class of teachers I’ve been privy to is those within the ADRP community. I’ve learned best practices and standards from those who are seasoned and have been instrumental in building the foundation of donor relations and stewardship and fresh, new creative approaches to the core functions of our work from new members and donor relations professionals. It has been exciting to see the evolution of our craft and the maturity of ADRP.

Good Stewardship Starts at Home
Mary Weingartner
Director of Donor Relations
University of Chicago

You and I have seen stewardship transform relationships, inspire increased giving, and even move donors to tears. We do the work we do because we know telling people their contributions are recognized, appreciated, and impactful can inspire them to engage more deeply with our institutions.
What if we took what we know about stewardship and applied it internally with our colleagues?

Gift Acknowledgement for Couples When the Wife is the Main Donor
Emily Padgett, Medical University of South Carolina
Several of our donors have brought to our attention that when they give a gift to our organization, we send the acknowledgment letter to the formal addressee "Mr. and Mrs. Male Donor" when either the wife only wanted credit or is the main donor and should be listed first.
