Fundraising

When you add transactions such as donations, pledges, or recurring gifts to the database, you must specify how you plan to use the revenue received. For example, a constituent may request you use a donation for a specific purpose, or perhaps the gift is in response to a solicitation used to raise funds for a specific cause.

In Altru, you apply the funds that you raise to causes or purposes called designations. To help direct the flow of revenue, you use fundraising hierarchies to manage your designations.

Tip: Think of a fundraising hierarchy as a freeway, with a separate lane for each designation and all lanes merging together with the overall objective of the designations as the ultimate destination.

From Fundraising, you can manage your organization's fundraising hierarchies and run reports to track progress towards your goals.
