I made a recent QCD to the Bogle Center independently of the drive to fund the Getting Going on Savings Initiative. The turnaround time that I experienced was rather longer than that experienced by Mr. Forsythe (I mailed my check on 8/22 and received my acknowledgment on 10/14). I modeled my cover letter on a format I saw posted a couple of years ago in a Bogleheads forum, specifying that the acknowledgment include elements beyond that of a basic acknowledgment to recognize IRS regulations specific to QCDs (e.g., that my donation was not going to a donor advised fund), but the acknowledgment I received didn't pick up on that.
