Under Method 1, since the money is donated directly to JewishGen, the tax deductibility of the contribution is clear and the Coordinator is relieved fiscal and many administrative responsibilities. Under Method 2, the group retains the ownership of the translation. In both cases, there is a cooperative working relationship between the Project Coordinator and the Translations Manager. JewishGen acts as fiscal agent All contributions are sent to JewishGen and are deposited into a dedicated account earmarked only for the translation of your designated yizkor book. Coordinator selects the translator, works out financial details, and communicates them to the Translations Manager.
Coordinator selects the order of passages to be translated.
JewishGen will pay the translator up to the amount available in the designated account after various sections are completed. It is assumed that funds will be collected over time and that the translation will be done in parts as the funds are donated. Either the Coordinator or the group of donors can determine the sequence of the material to be translated. JewishGen will have exclusive rights to the translation as the funds were donated to JewishGen and dispersed by JewishGen. Personal copies may, of course, be made.
