Operations can assist staff with purchasing gifts or incentives for Staff, Fellows, Partners or external stakeholders. Please review our FY25 Staff Appreciation Guidelines.
Gifts are defined as a token to acknowledge someone for an occasion or achievement, etc (example: sympathy flowers).
Incentives are defined as a reward/acknowledgment based on performance. Note: Incentives are primarily programming/partnership related (example: raffle prizes) and if requested in bulk (more than 2), please upload an Excel file with full mailing addresses using the templates provided that can be found by using the Dropbox file path below:

The Operations team fulfills requests using our current vendors, and—when possible—small business owners and BIPOC vendors. Requests must be submitted with a minimum of two (2) weeks in advance of the delivery date to allow time for Operations to consult with vendors, acquire quotes, and discuss shipping options (as most vendors use FedEx Ground and/or UPS Ground as their standard delivery method).
