However, except for gifts of cash and publicly traded securities, no value shall be ascribed to any receipt or other form of substantiation of a gift received by Mopane Foundation.
The Mopane Foundation will respect the intent of the donor relating to gifts for restricted purposes and those relating to the desire to remain anonymous.
