Add Charitable Donations

The Book of Memories offers online visitors an opportunity to make a charitable donation in the deceased’s name. This easy-to-use feature is processed through My Tribute Gift Foundation and an official tax receipt is automatically generated and issued with every donation.

There are three donations options:

*Family Preferred Charities: *

1. Select from Frequent List: Once a list is built, click the ‘Add to Preferred Charities’ to select for this record.
2. Select from Master Database: These are all registered charities and only accept payments by credit card. Use the search bar to find a charity then select the ‘Add to Preferred Charities’ button. If the charity is frequently chosen, ‘Add to Frequent’. This will eliminate the need to search for a particular charity every time when creating records. Note: Use the dropdown for State/Province and City to narrow your search. Note: Local chapters of particular charities may not be included in the database.
3. View Charities Selected: Lists all charities designated as preferred charities for this record.
4. Non-Charitable Organizations: All non-registered charities added to your Charities Database. Select and then ‘Add’.
   

No Donations: The charitable donation option within Book of Memories is unavailable.

Display to Donor: Charity of your choice: Donor can choose to donate to any charity in the deceased’s name. (Create a frequent list in the system to provide online visitors with a few ideas about local and popular charitable organizations.)

When a Donation is made:

• Our partner donation-handler, My Tribute Gift, automatically emails the donor with the donation receipt
• My Tribute Gift will log the donation to the charity, along with the donor’s information
• Once monthly My Tribute Gift sends the funds collected during the month to the charity by check or direct deposit, along with a spreadsheet of donor information.
• a PDF donation card is emailed to the Funeral Home that can be printed out to display at the service or given to the family

*It can take up to 6 weeks for the charity to receive the donation from My Tribute Gift depending on what period in the payment cycle the donation was made
