Donation Principles

Concepts

Donor: A person who gives a gift, typically money but not always, to help a ministry fulfill its purpose.

To help clarify the difference between how much a donor contributes and how it is divided, this manual and teaching exercises always defines them this way.

Donation: The total amount given to the ministry by a Donor.

Gift: The portion of a donation assigned to a specific designation.

Therefore, any single donation could be comprised of one or more gifts.
