This setting enables you to set the count of donors you want to see and select which of the following gift types to include: gifts, pledges, in-kind gifts, matching gifts, and soft credits.

 

NEW! Consecutive years of giving automatically calculated for each constituent

Every donor now has a “consecutive years of giving” value in their constituent record, viewable within a widget on your account’s Dashboard and in the Giving Summary of each constituent record. This data can be searched on and exported into a column in a report.

You can edit the parameters for calculating this value on the Settings > Subscription settings > Gift settings page:

  1. I’m thrilled with the “years of consecutive giving!”
    Could you add it to the summary report, please. In our office we print out summary reports for use when writing notes on renewal letters, and that detail would be so helpful.

    1. Hi Patti,

      Great to hear you’re finding that new feature useful! Please feel free to send an email to our support team to request that update to the summary report.

      Thanks,
      Timi
