<div dir="ltr">Hello Tammy,<div>Was the appraisal done by a qualified appraiser at arms length from the donor, and were the amounts justified? </div><div>You only require one appraisal if the donation is valued under $50,000 but it does need to be a detailed appraisal, not just a statement that it's worth x amount. </div><div>Cheers,</div><div>Catherine </div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, 6 Nov 2024 at 20:04, Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv <<a href="mailto:listserv@lists.museum.bc.ca">listserv@lists.museum.bc.ca</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div>Hello Everyone,<div><br></div><div>I work in a tiny museum in a remote area.
