Tip: Read this article to learn how to add and remove allocation funds onto your online donation form. This article shows how to run a pivot summary report to see how much money you have in each of your funds.
Steps
Open the Funds list. Requires security clearance.
The funds that have the Active – Show In Dropdowns box checked are the ones that will show in the drop-down menu when entering a donation within the database. In my example there were currently 5.
You can either open an existing fund to add or remove it to the donation drop-down menu or create a new fund by clicking the [+ New] button at the top. In this example I created a new fund.
*If you’re creating a new fund, create a name, check the Active box, and [Save].
After adding a new fund, click [Search] to refresh the list and the new fund will display. My example is below.
The next time you enter a donation the new fund you added or the current fund you activated in the drop-down will display. My example is below.
To remove a fund from the drop-down list, simply reverse the previous steps. Open the fund from the Funds list, and uncheck the Active box.
There are multiple lists in the database that allow you to run reports on fund data. The screenshots below detail a few of the more common areas you can run these reports e.g. Contacts (Donors), Contributions, and Fund Allocation Lists.
