My nonprofit ministry just received a donation from a family fund that came to us via Morgan Stanley Giving Fund (MS GIFT). Essentially the donor gave MS GIFT money which they passed along to us. How is this recorded? It seems right to attribute it to the actual donor but how do I record MS GIFT involvement if at all?
I'm not sure if this is exactly what you're asking but the donation technically comes from MS GIFT. The donor received the receipt and the tax deduction when they made the contribution to MS GIFT, so you don't provide the donor with a receipt. A thank you perhaps, but not a receipt.
Just one other thought.. As long as you don't issue a receipt for the donation, I think you can record it any way you want for tracking/reporting purposes.
