Manage donations. See the support behind them.

Link monetary donations to payments, record in-kind gifts, and create acknowledgments in batches. Keep delivery status, donor records, and giving trends together.

Donation overview with giving trends from May to October, 128 gifts, 96 donors, and recent contributions.

Link monetary gifts to payments

Assign an incoming payment as a donation to the right contact and record its donation line item. Keep the amount, donor, and payment source connected.

Paid donation documents are then available for acknowledgment creation. A manually created acknowledgment does not itself record a payment. Manage the payment through its related document.

Link monetary gifts to payments

Record monetary and in-kind gifts

Record a gift independently of a payment document. Select an existing contact or enter donor details, date, and amount directly. You can combine several monetary line items in one manual acknowledgment.

For an in-kind gift, record the item, origin, and value, such as six used folding chairs for the clubhouse. The acknowledgment documents the gift. Manage assets, inventory, and accounting separately.

Record monetary and in-kind gifts

Create acknowledgments in batches

Select the paid donation documents you want to acknowledge. Combine monetary gifts from the same donor, such as two gifts of $150 and $100 within the same period.

Review the selection and donor details before creating the acknowledgments. Choose whether to send them immediately or create them without sending. Sources that have already been acknowledged are excluded from the open selection.

Set up templates and delivery

Customize the PDF acknowledgment template and its accompanying message. Use donor placeholders to prepare repeatable acknowledgments with a personal greeting.

Choose whether acknowledgments are created and sent. Manage the email subject and message centrally in donation settings. Delivery follows the method saved for the individual record.

Keep pending acknowledgments in view

The acknowledgment queue separates waiting, pending, and failed records. See which items need review or another delivery step.

Open the related donations and update delivery methods or recipient details when needed. Review delivery status separately from the payment. Creating an acknowledgment does not by itself confirm delivery.

Cancel and reissue acknowledgments

If a manual acknowledgment contains an incorrect amount, cancel it and create a new acknowledgment with the correct details. The new acknowledgment receives its own number.

The canceled record stays in the register, and its document remains available with a cancellation mark. Before making a correction, check whether the acknowledgment was created manually or from a paid donation document.

Cancel and reissue acknowledgments

Preserve details as they were issued

An issued acknowledgment keeps the donor and issuer addresses used at the time of issue. Later changes to contact details do not automatically replace those addresses in the existing document.

Retrieve the saved acknowledgment from the donation register when you need to review a past gift. Keep current contact information up to date while retaining the details originally issued.
