Automated major-gift clause notifications

Who receives Major Gift Clause emails?

Major Gift Clause emails go to all Fundraising Superadmins and all Gift Management Admins at the school. School-wide Superadmins with fundraising access are also included. Recipients are determined by these administrator roles, not by an individual notification subscription.

These notifications apply to qualifying campaign or giving-form gifts at institutions with an applicable Major Gift Clause. They are separate from ordinary new-gift notification emails.

Can an administrator enable or disable these emails individually?

No. There is no separate per-person notification toggle or opt-out for Major Gift Clause emails while the person retains one of the recipient roles. The Gift Notifications and Deposit Notifications checkboxes under Online Giving → Administrators → Notifications do not control these emails. Personal account preferences and Outreach unsubscribe settings do not control them either.

When reviewing administrator access, assign roles according to each person's responsibilities. Anyone who retains either recipient role remains eligible for Major Gift Clause emails, even if another role is removed. Do not remove needed administrative access solely to stop an email; a mailbox rule can organize the messages instead.

If someone appears to be receiving these emails without either role, or is missing an expected email, give Support the school, recipient address, subject, and date so the actual recipient and delivery record can be checked.

Does this notification confirm settlement or a contractual fee?

No. Receiving the notification does not mean the gift has settled or that a particular contractual fee applies. Contact Support or your finance contact to confirm your institution's contract terms, the payment's current status, and the expected processing timeline.
