Two events are on the horizon (we don't have the Event module):  a Gala & a Bazaar. We will receive a hundred or more silent auction items from donors for each event.  Each donor will be credited with a Gift-in-Kind.  I'm thinking of adding 2 new campaigns, Gift-in-Kind-Gala and Gift-in-Kind-BZR to facilitate specific to event Gift-in-Kind reporting.    I'm new to Raiser's Edge and would appreciate advice on the best way to handle Gift-in-Kind donations.  Thanks!

I keep loosing my post -- I apologize if this is a duplicate answer.

Into what Campaign are you putting the money?  I would put the GIK in the sames campaign.  I would diffferentiate by Appeal Code.  If your group have these events each year, I would also put in the year:  2008 Gala Gift-in-Kind, or GIK 2008 Bazaar

It seems redundant to create new CFA records when you just need to code the gift using the gift type "Gift-in-Kind".  You can filter all reports using gift types.  Just a thought.
