The Parish Resource Center accepts donations of any kind that support and further the mission, goals and objectives of the PRC. The purpose of this policy is to specify the type of donations that the PRC will accept and how the Library will handle these donations.
The PRC gratefully accepts gifts and donations.
Gifts are accepted in honor or in memoriam of a person or event. Acknowledgement of such a gift will be made to the donor in writing. Recognition of an honorary or memorial gift is made as outlined below, according to the nature of the gift.
The PRC may not be able to accept a donation if the donor places extensive and/or restrictive conditions on the use of the gift by the PRC. The PRC will work with the donor to reach an agreement on the disposition of the gift. However, the PRC will not accept a gift if the donor's wishes cannot be carried out successfully by the PRC for any reason or do not fall within the mission, goals and objectives of the PRC. If this is determined to be so, the donor will be notified in writing and the gift returned.
