Recording In Kind Donations
To enter donations of items which will be used at your event, but not sold.
Recording in kind donations allows you to track the FMV of the donation received, provide the donor with a receipt, and to include the donor in mail merge mailings to donors and/or donors who donated.
To enter In Kind donation:
Go to Catalog > Add Item:
1. Add Donor record first, if it doesn't already exist.
2. Choose a name that will display well in a mail merge thank you letter.
3. Choose Type = Silent*
4. Uncheck all venue boxes so item will not be available for sale anywhere.
5. Enter FMV of the donation.
6. Uncheck Display box so item will not display in public catalog.
7. Save.
8. Optional: Go to Donor page to generate donor receipt.
*Note - while type = Gift items are not for sale anywhere nor do they appear in the catalog, the FMV of Gift Items is reported as Non-Order Revenue rather than tallied as the total FMV of donated items.
