Sponsor Constituency

Constituencies define the affiliations your constituents have with your organization. A constituent can have multiple constituencies, and these relationships can start and end and overlap. For example, a constituent may first become a sponsor in your database and remain a sponsor for an undetermined length of time. This same constituent may later become a volunteer for your organization, but for only six months. You can use constituencies to define these relationships and group similar constituents in queries, mailings, and reports.

In Sponsorship, constituents who give a gift of sponsorship are assigned the “Sponsorship donor” constituency; constituents who receive a gift of sponsorship are assigned the “Sponsorship recipient” constituency; constituents who maintain a regular (non-gift) sponsorship are assigned the “Sponsor” constituency. A constituent can have more than one of these constituency options active on their record at a given time.

To view the constituencies of a constituent, select the Constituencies tab on the constituent record orConstituencies under the constituent summary. Each type of sponsorship constituency has its own tab with information relevant to that constituency. For more information, refer toSponsor Record.
