Description
TrueGivers creates the Individual Condolences task which is a Donor Stewardship Task. First, we identify if a deceased individual matches your to your donor (first name, last name, and address). Then, if the deceased date is within the last 6 months, we create a donor stewardship task. We ask you to verify the data and send condolences to your donor's family.
Criteria
- deceased_type = 'I' or Individual
- deceased_date is populated
- deceased_date is less than 6 months from today's date
Remember, TrueGivers will indicate on the record display page if you or someone in your organization has marked an account as deceased before we downloaded into TrueGivers. TrueGivers will always show match details (name details) on the record if we do match your donor to our deceased source.

Task Details
Tasks will include a caption indicating the Donor's Name, plus a description of what steps you should take. Here is an example:
Due Dates and Expiration Dates
TrueGivers adds Due Dates and Expiration Dates to your tasks so that you do not waste time reviewing 'old' tasks that are no longer relevant.
The Individual Condolences Task has a Due Date set for 0 days after the task was originally created, and an Expiration Date set for 10 days after the task was originally created. We want to you review these tasks immediately. It is important to review the deceased match and opt them out of any future communications.
Example
Jane Doe has an Individual Deceased match to our deceased source. This means we found a deceased record that matched her First Name, Last Name, and Full Address. Once we find this match, we will create a donor stewardship task if the Deceased Date returned is within six months of the match date.
On December 2, 2019, TrueGivers found an Individual Deceased match for Jane Doe. We create an Individual Condolences task for Jane Doe.
- The Due Date will be set to 0 days after 12/2 which is December 2, 2019.
- The Expiration Date will be set to 10 days after 12/2 which is December 12, 2019.
Steps You Should Take
Remember: Stewardship Tasks provide a specific action you can take on a specific record to improve data stewardship – and ultimately your relationship with your donor. Stewardship Tasks serve two purposes.

TrueGivers will provide some simple steps within the task itself. Use the Task Buttons to help keep track if you have started and completed a task or if you decided to ignore a specific task. TrueGivers provides the following buttons:
- Approve
- Complete
- Decline
- Delete
After you have determined what action you would like to take on the task, your first step is to review the data. Because TrueGivers uses third party data, you should always confirm the data provided is correct.
For the Individual Condolences Task, review the deceased match. TrueGivers will always return all name pieces that were on the deceased source. These are listed within TrueGivers on the record display page. Search the web for an obituary indicating your donor's death. Once you have confirmed that you donor has passed, decide if you want to reach out to their family. If so, send them a condolences card in the mail or if you have access, make a quick phone call to the family members.
Complete the task once you have completed your contact with donor's family.
Data and Donor Stewardship Tasks
TrueGivers processes your database daily to look for new data matches to existing accounts, new accounts, and accounts you made edits to. With each process your database receives CASS/DPV/NCOA/RDI, Deceased Information, and Individual & Household data enhancements. Then we create Stewardship Tasks.
