Tutorial: Log gifts from an Appeal
You can enter a gift into TntMPD even before it is downloaded from your organization. You would likely only do this if a donor gave you or sent you the gift which you then forwarded to your organization.
| 1. | Go to the MPD tab for the contact who sent the gift. In the Gifts box, right click anywhere and select "Add new gift". If you have already downloaded the gift, select "Edit gift". |
| 2. | In the Gift Details box, type in the date and amount of the gift. |
| 3. | Select the appeal from the drop-down box. TntMPD will automatically put the same amount into the appeal amount box. |
| 4. | TntMPD will also offer a new drop-down about how to apply the appeal. For this example, select “Don’t apply appeal amount to pledge fulfillment.” |
| • | Auto-determine pledge fulfillment: Determines whether this gift should be included as a fulfillment of a donor's pledged giving, based on the frequency of their pledge. |
| • | Apply amount towards pledge fulfillment: Forces these amounts to be included in the pledge calculations for this donor and all partners. |
| • | Don’t apply appeal amount towards pledge fulfillment. Forces TntMPD to regard this entirely as a special gift. |
| 5. | If you can download your gifts from your organization, then check Available on Web; otherwise leave it blank. |
| 7. | Note: If you receive a gift from a donor and only a portion of the gift is for the appeal, change the amount in the second box. |
| 8. | TntMPD will show that gifts were received in response to appeals. In this example, the upper gift shows how a $200 gift had $150 applied to the appeal and $50 was not; this amount will most likely be regarded as part of a pledge fulfillment. |
