I'm running an impact report and pulling a gift summary to get cumulative giving totals.

Hi everyone, Does anyone have any standard practices set in place for deleting inactive constituents? My organization is especially interested in this right now because we don't want to go over our maximum number of constituents in our database. I would greatly appreciate any advice. Thanks! Michael
My organization is exploring the possibility and pros and cons of utilizing the recurring gift functionality on Raiser's Edge with the goal of better managing and reporting on our recurring gifts.
