Once this requirement was brought to our attention, we reviewed the guidance to ensure proper compliance going forward. In addition, the organization faced an unexpected operational challenge when the sole staff person responsible for preparing donor acknowledgments was out on medical leave following the auction, which further hindered the organization's ability to issue the required written acknowledgements. The organization will implement procedures to ensure all future fundraising events adhere to the applicable substantiation and disclosure rules.
