Entering Cash Donations
A large portion of church giving comes in the form of cash donations that are placed either in the church offering plate or a donation box. This article covers how to use ChurchTrac's church giving software to track unknown cash donations.
Create your cash offering "person"
In ChurchTrac, every church donation has to be assigned to an individual.
You will use this "individual" to assign your cash donations. On your People Screen, create an organization with the name of something like Cash Offering or Offering Plate.
Record your cash donations
Once you have created the "person" to assign your cash offerings to, navigate to the Giving Screen and add a contribution with the "person" selected as the designated giver.
Use your Categories to designate where the money is to be allocated to. Do NOT create different "people" as designations for this. One of the most common mistakes we see is ministries creating multiple "cash offering" people for each service to designate funds.
