Contributions

In Online Giving, contributions are the gifts your organization receives through Blackbaud Donation Forms. Donors can give:

• One-time gifts paid outright as a single payment.

• Recurring Gifts paid at regular intervals of a donor's choosing, such as monthly gifts of $50.

From Contributions, you can:

• View the total amount raised from recurring gift plans.

• Forecast recurring gift plan performance.

• Recurring Gift Plans On Hold 90 Days.

• Resolve failed recurring gift payments.

• Contact donors with recurring gift plans that end in 90 days.

How Gifts Flow from Online Giving to Your CRM

For gifts to flow from Online Giving to your CRM, set up your connection preferences in Settings. These preferences determine how to automatically add donor and gift information to your CRM.

If you use Blackbaud CRM, gifts flow to a CRM batch. Blackbaud Altru doesn’t use a batch approval process. Instead, after you set up your connection preferences, Online Giving creates the gifts in Altru.

Open a Payment or Recurring Gift Plan

You can open a payment, view its details, and make changes to it from Contributions, Payments. To open the payment, select the amount under Gross amount.

Tip: To view the recurring gift plan from a recurring gift payment, select the amount under Recurring gift plan.
