How do you split a gift for an event?

Eniko Horvath

How do you administer event fees and donations from the same payment? I cannot split the gift as it is for the same fund, but if I link the whole gift to the event, then the event report gets messed up. Has anyone figured out how to link the gifts properly (event fee and donation portion)? Please help how! Thank you!!

@Eniko Horvath Hello! I've run into this and during batch entry, I'll process the charge with the full amount, for example $500, then once the charge is approved, I'll change that gift amount to the amount of the ticket, for example, $250 and then enter another entry row with the donation amount of for example, $250. It's not the cleanest, but allows me to allocate the correct amount to the event registration and the event gift. I also use package IDs to indicate the split.

@Eniko Horvath, say someone gives us $200 for a $150 ticket. In the participant registration we enter Individual Ticket x 1 = $150, General Donation x 50 = $50. (Our General donation registration costs $1, so we enter the # of dollars as the # of units.) That way it rolls up in the Event statistics correctly. I just have to drill down in the General Donations to find how many individuals gave General Donations.
