Reports by donation

In this section:

Reports by donation allow you to filter by campus, date, fund, label, stamp, or payment source to produce a list of donations that match the set criteria. After applying filters, email donors in the list or export the information.

To create a report by donation:

  1. Select the Donations page from the top navigation in Giving.

  2. Choose the Reports tab from the left sidebar.

  3. Select the By donation tab.

  4. Set the needed filters, including campus, date range, and information such as fund, labels, and stamps.

  5. Select a donation to see more information about it.

  6. (Optional) Select Export to print the report or export the data into a CSV.

After you have applied filters, the table will produce a list of donations that match the set criteria.

The table includes information about the donations relevant to the filters you applied, including:

  • The date and amount of the donation. 

  • The name of the donor.

  • The fund the donation was given to and the payment source it originated from.

  • A collection of stamps that tell you more about the donation, including information such as the payment method, campus, and status. 

Understand donation flags

Colored flags are sometimes added to donations to communicate information about a donation's status.

  • Yellow flags indicate the donation is not yet successful. It could be in an uncommitted batch, in transit, or awaiting transit.

  • Blue flags indicate a donation has been adjusted. Check the donation for information about the adjustment made.

  • Red flags indicate the donation was refunded or failed.

Available filters

When building a report, many filters are available. Each one helps you capture a specific list of donations based on set information.

Campuses

Filter by campus to locate donations designated to a specific campus. The available campuses are determined by the campuses listed in Account settings. If you have the campus selector on the online donation form enabled, donors can choose a campus to donate to. If the campus selector is turned off, donations will be assigned to a campus based on the donor's primary campus in People.

Funds

Funds are set up by your church as categories for your donors to choose when giving.

Labels

Labels help organize your donations. They can be created, edited, and manually applied to each donation by an Administrator.

Important

Labels are only visible in Giving. They are not visible to donors in their Church Center profile, and they will not be included in donor statements.

Stamps

Stamps automatically apply to donations and tell the donation's story as a financial transaction. They are defined by Giving and are not editable.
