VSE Subcategories

When colleges, universities, and secondary schools add designations to fundraising purposes, they can assign the designation to a pre-defined category of the Voluntary Support of Education (VSE) Survey. A list of predefined categories is provided and cannot be edited. These categories help determine how the VSE Survey handles revenue received toward the designation. You can, however, further specify a category by creating subcategories for internal use at your organization. To view and manage subcategories your organization uses for the VSE Survey, from the Fundraising page, select VSE subcategories under Configuration. The VSE Subcategories page appears.

Under VSE subcategories, you can view the categories of outright giving used by the VSE Survey, such as Capital Purposes - Loan Funds. To view subcategories your organization uses with a VSE category, select the single arrow next to the category. To update the information under VSE subcategories, select Refresh.

Note: VSE subcategories are for internal use at your organization and do not appear in the VSE Survey Report. For more information about the VSE Survey Report, see VSE Survey Report.

From this page, you can add subcategories to further define the VSE categories. You can also edit or delete subcategories as necessary. You cannot add a subcategory to another subcategory.

Note: We recommend you configure VSE subcategories during database setup.
