Yes, the department is encouraged to send a thank you to acknowledge the gift, but the University of Iowa Center for Advancement (UICA) provides the official acknowledgement letter.  To generate an official acknowledgement letter, please forward a copy of the check and any correspondence to the Grant Accounting Office (GAO) prior to depositing the check.  If the information is not forwarded at the time of deposit, then the GAO will follow up at a later date to request the information and it will result in a delay of the official acknowledgement letter.
