Is there a way to enter donations into Raisers Edge that have conditions/contingencies
Hi Rebecca - I would recommend you reach out to your finance team/auditors about to handle these types of gifts. Sometimes finance may want to hold onto the gift until the condition is met, and will then pass it onto RE for entry. You will want to do what is best for your organization.
Thank you for commenting on where you are in the process. There is no straight forward way to record a conditional gift, that I know of. If you don’t want to count the conditional gift as revenue you could enter it under the gift type “Other”, otherwise I would commend you record the conditional status in a searchable field such as a gift attribute.
I'm not entire sure that this would give you what you need, but you could track these in Proposals, using the Status field to track your progress towards meeting the conditions on the gift. Or you could also enter as a Planned Gift, and when you meet the conditions and receive the funds, you could realize the gift. This may or may not work for what you need, though.
