We have used the following. I am sure there are better versions.
To the donor:
Thank you for the donation in XXX's memory (or honor). Your donation in honor of XXX will assist us with helping the animals of Mississippi County.
Because of your donation, we will continue to be the voice of the voiceless.
To the family of the honoree:
A donation was made to Mended Paws Sanctuary in memory of (honor of) XXX. The donation was provided by XXX. This donation will assist us with helping the animals of Mississippi County. With this blessing, we will continue to be the voice of the voiceless.
I look forward to seeing what others do.

Does anyone have an example of an acknowledgment letter for "in honor of" and "in memory of" donations they'd be willing to share? We have had ours be one and the same and the verbiage is awkward, so hoping to get some other groups' acknowledgement letters as a starting point. Thank you!
