Go to Program → Contributions → Giving Funds.
-
Click Add at the bottom of the window.
-
Enter the name for the Giving Fund under the Description column.
If you are entering pledged funds with annual or repetitive pledges (not simply multi-year pledges), create a separate giving fund for each pledge period. For example, if people have made pledges for 2022 to the general and mission funds of the church, you might create a General 2022 fund and a Missions 2022 fund. Likewise, if there is a building campaign that people pledged to give over a three-year period, you might have a Building 2022-2024 fund. In this way, you are sure to credit donations against the pledge made.
-
If the new fund is not tax-deductible, put a check in the Not Tax-Deductible column.
The Not Tax-Deductible and Inactive checkboxes can be overridden at the time a donation is entered.
