A donation occasion is a source of funding. It is the centre of ProDon's financial structure. An event is a donation occasion; but other sources of revenues, such as general donations or planned gifts are also donation occasions. Each of the donation occasions comprises activities and expenditures.
For instance :
For a gala dinner, it is possible to define:
The activities that generate revenues, such as:
- Tickets
- Platinum Sponsorship
- Gold Sponsorship
- Donations
The expenditures for carrying out of the gala dinner, such as:
- Reception hall rental
- Caterer
- Entertainement expenses
For an annual fundraising campaign, it is possible to define:
The solicitation activities, such as:
- First mailing
- Second mailing as reminder
- First mailing - Commitment (recurring donations, requires the commitment module)
- Second mailing - Commitment (recurring donations, requires the commitment module)
- Unsolicitated donations
The expenditures for carrying out the campaign, such as:
- Postal charges
- Promotional material
NOTE: For donation occasions related to "In Memoriam Gifts" and "Beneficiary Donation Occasions", first consult these documents:
