The Winneconne Historical Society has had a "Donor Deed" in the past
which was filled out by the donor with description and value of the
item. It was used like a receipt but the gift was listed as an
unrestricted gift.
However, we decided we needed a better statement and we now have a new
Gift Agreement which simply states "I hereby unconditionally donate to
the Winneconne Historical Society, my property described on this sheet
to be used and/or disposed of by the Society at its unrestricted
discretion, and for myself and my descendants, I waive all present or
future rights to this property."
Further we are trying to accept only items pertinent to our goals.
We still have a problem of items donated over the years for which
records were never kept.
It will be interesting to hear what others do. Marge - Winneconne Historical Society, Winneconne, WI
