We use Give Campus for our fundraising, majority of our gifts from come from the GiveCampus platform. We are making changes in gift processing and needed suggestions. Details Below:
Current Process:
1. We use the GiveCampus platform for fundraising.
- Gifts are entered in Raiser's Edge based on deposits. A gift batch is committed based on when gifts are deposited in the bank (these gifts may have come over the past 2-3 days). This helps our business office with reconciliation.
Proposed Change:
1. Enter gifts as they come in rather than waiting for the deposit; commit the batch immediately.
2. When the deposit arrives, update the gift with the correct GL post date to help the business office reconcile.
Challenge:
With this change, I now have to update all gifts after entry. While I can do a mass update, it's a bit time-consuming since I need to pull gift IDs, match emails, and run vlookups before updating. Basically, a gift has to be ntered once and then updated again after a day or so.
Wanted to get an idea how other organizations are managing this.
