GiftLegacy eContact Awards

We congratulate the 25 "Gold" sites, the 25 "Silver" sites and the 25 "Bronze" sites. Each organization will receive an award trophy to show their excellence in eMarketing. Many gold sites have received eGifts, and several have raised multimillions in eGifts. eMarketing of planned gifts on the web is steadily becoming a major force in planned giving.

During 2007 the GiftLegacy/GiftLaw servers had over 30 million page-views. With hundreds of thousands of donors and professional advisors getting their gift planning information online, we are recognizing top GiftLegacy sites with substantial numbers of eNewsletter and web site contacts.
