Introduction

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:

  • In Memoriam Gifts
  • Beneficiary Module

Donation Occasion Management

To go to the "Donation Occasion Management", from the software home page, click on the "Transactions" menu, then select "Bouton Occasion de dons.png Donation occasions".

G: The Button cancel.png button allows you to deactivate a donation occasion. To do so, select the donation occasion to be deactivated, then click on the Button cancel.png button. After clicking on the button, the donation occasion will be found in the "Deactivated occasions" tab. For more details, see letter C.

Donation Occasion Management 003.png

NOTE: It is also possible to deactivate a donation occasion from the "Donation occasion management", but it is only possible to reactivate it from this box.

H: By unchecking this box, the donation is no longer excluded from the reports and the lists. To include the donation occasion back in the reports and the lists, you simply need to check this box again.

"Client link" Tab

This tab allows you to document a client, other than the payer of the transaction. For example, if a donation in honour of someone is done, "Client No. 1" could be the person to be honoured, then "Client No. 2" could be the person to be notified of the receipt of the gift.

C: Allows you to indicate the label of the linked client No. 1, for example, "Person to be honoured".

D: Allows you to do a shortlisting of the clients of the database to search the linked client. For instance, if the box "From the following category" were checked and that a "Clients to be honoured" category had been created, it would be possible to select this category in order to search the client from a smaller selection, rather than searching the client among "All" the clients of the database.

NOTE: To edit or delete categories, from the software home page, click on the "Clients" menu, then select " Bouton catégories de client.png Categories of clients".


Donation Occasion Management 007.png

For instance, if the box "From the following category" were checked and that a "Clients to be notified" category had been created, it would be possible to select this category in order to search the client from a smaller selection, rather than searching the client among "All" the clients of the database.
NOTE: To edit or delete categories, from the software home page, click on the "Clients" menu, then select " Bouton catégories de client.png Categories of clients".



Donation Occasion Management 008.png

B: This box allows you to indicate the link, for example, "Person to be honoured / Person to be notified". For more details on links, consult this procedure.

C: If this box is checked, the reverse link is used, for example, instead of "Person to be honoured / Person to be notified" in B, it would be "Person to be notified / Person to be honoured".
