How do you find the name of a donor from his bank? Does anyone have any ideas?

Public and gladly receive this request for help!

Hello Valerio, I am the founder along with my partner of ABC Association for Children's Surgical Burlo, which supports children born with serious to be treated surgically amlformazioni Burlo Garofalo at the Hospital of Trieste.
The Association was founded two years ago and is going very well, but we have a small-big problem. For some time now no longer able to climb in the Registry of our donors. I mean, initially those who gave were usually friends or acquaintances and people who passed through the department of surgery, in short, people whom we could somehow know the address to send a warm thank you.
Now probably the rumor spread, we were able to make a good communication and we ritoviamo donors of whom we know only the name that appears in the description of payment (we only mail accounts with banks), the bank told us that we can provide addresses for reasons of privacy and also because they come from another institution, it is impossible for them risalire.Abbiamo tried the white pages, sometimes we were lucky, many others do not.
At this point we have a huge hole in two ways: some donors do not thank you and we can not create a complete mailing list to work on. I ask you so if you have any answer to the question that begins to have some important numbers ... Thank you and congratulations for your professinal.

For now, my answer is that unfortunately there is no 'solution. That's why we do not recommend ever to make donations through the banks, at least not those impromptu, but only regular ones. It is about doing a series of "research" CSI model and try to find clues to identify the donor (not 'lost time!) And open a postal account!!

If anyone has other suggestions, come forward! Thanks (VM)

    On the net I found a site where a charity said "
    Donors who send us their contributions through a bank transfer: unfortunately it is impossible for us to dispose of their e ringraziarli.Cogliamo the opportunity to communicate to them our gratitude and to invite them to tell us. " (Source http://www.cafonlus.org ) So the first solution would be to make an explicit call to donors to send their data once they transfer

    a couple of suggestions (I hope useful):

    1) for those arriving by your own bank, your bank try to propose a format (paper or computer) with thanks so that they send to their customers (and your donors) so that privacy is safe, the Thanksgiving has come and your donor might decide to turn up (and probably depend on the size of your bank dall'organizzaizone), I do not know the bank of Cividale, but that the country of Cortina can almost certainly do;

    2) to those from other institutions, donors, and since I know you probably also follow your site, you might open a section on your site http://www.abcburlo.it , "anonymous donors", by publishing the name , thanking them and inviting them to be heard;

    If these attempts do, let us know how it went, so we learn something too.
