Below are details on how to handle different types of donations:

Donations made on your webpage by credit card will automatically be posted to your website and your fundraising account. If someone would like to donate in person by credit card, complete the Credit Card Donation Information section of the Donation Submission Form for all credit card contributions. Be very careful to be accurate and complete when copying the credit card information (account number, expiration date, $ amount), as errors will result in denied approval. The Accounting Center can only process Visa, MasterCard, and American Express.

Do not send in cash! Convert cash contributions and any foreign currency into a check or money order (payable to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society). Complete the Cash Donation section of the Donation Submission Form for all cash contributions to ensure proper acknowledgment of gifts and so they may receive a receipt for tax purposes. The Paycor Accounting Center will not be liable for any lost or stolen cash donations.

Write your name, and event in the memo section of each check, then simply batch and submit with a Individual or Team Donation Form [Note: If there is no name and/or address on the check, use the Cash Donation section of the Donation Submission Form to identify the name or address of the donor to ensure proper acknowledgment of the gift.]

DO NOT STAPLE OR TAPE CHECKS TO DONOR FORMS.

DO NOT SEND PRE-DATED CHECKS- hold these in your possession until the check date is valid.

DO NOT SEND CHECKS DATED OVER 3 MONTHS OLD-these checks will not be accepted and will be returned. It is important to send in your donations in a timely manner.

Please review checks to ensure they are signed and dated.

Make a copy of the donation and attach it to the matching gift form. Submit the matching gift donation to the accounting center as usual, but also send matching gift paperwork and a copy of the donation to the LLS office:

The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society
4600 - A Montgomery Blvd NE, Suite 201

Albuquerque, NM 87109

Foreign Currency by definition means any check that is drawn off of a NON-U.S. bank, OR does not have "U.S. dollars" imprinted on the check. ("U.S. dollars" may not be hand written on the check.) The participant must convert this type of donation into U.S. dollars. Deposit the donation into your personal account and write a check for the amount of the U.S. currency and forward it to the Accounting Center with the completed Cash Donation section of the Participant Donor Form to ensure proper acknowledgement of the donation. (Note: Donors outside the U.S. may find it easier to make a contribution by credit card, which will be charged in U.S. dollars.)
