Hi there, I want to find out how other RE users tackle the issues with entering Cash gifts paid by another constituent. As an example, some of our Trustees prefered to donate to us by way of their private foundations or designated fund organizations. So for all intents and purposes, the Trustees should...

We do three things to capture data regarding tributes: 1) When we are entering the gift in the batch we select the "Tribute" button (looks like a scroll), select Add New and then locate the person who is being honored. This allows us to easily track tributes from both the donor and the honoree...

Our Business Office uses an accounting system that does not talk to Raiser's Edge. We have several projects for which we raised money during the current fiscal year 2009, but the projects won't take place until fiscal year 2010 and are part of that year's budget. The Business Office defers...

We just received a chunk of money from a Foundation but the foundation manages a bunch of funds. I need to be able to somehow track the total money but at the same time be able to separate this amount into (3) different funds.

I would love to hear how you send out your letters and your verbage used. You may also contact me: goodman@lacollege...

I've searched for and found some threads on appeal code structure (or lack thereof), but this question is a bit more specific. I am new to my organization and a BB user once again after a number of years of using other databases. In the meantime I've had source codes/ appeal codes with a standard...

I am looking for guidance with questions about database architecture. I have been in my position and using the Raiser's Edge for just over a year. I am looking to you, those that have much more experience with this software, to help me determine whether if our way of entering/tracking gifts is the...
