Entering Anonymous Cash Donations

A large portion of church giving comes from anonymous cash donations. This article covers how to manage and record those donations.

  • Initial Setup
  • Recording Donations

Initial Setup

Before you begin entering any donations, we recommend configuring a few settings:

Navigate to the "Settings" screen and select the "Admin Settings" tab.

Use relevant keywords here, but make sure the Alt tag describes what is in the image

Under the "Screen Options" section, select "Giving" and edit the name of the Anonymous Donor to something that fits your preference.

Use relevant keywords here, but make sure the Alt tag describes what is in the image

This name can be assigned to all anonymous donations you enter and is not counted towards your name tier.

Recording Donations

Once the initial setup is complete, navigate to the "Giving" screen to begin entering donations.

Begin by selecting an existing batch date or creating a new one for the group of donations you’re managing. Then select the "Add Contributions" button to begin recording your donations.

Use relevant keywords here, but make sure the Alt tag describes what is in the image

When entering a donation, select "Add as Anonymous Cash." This will automatically fill in the name you chose during the setup process.

Use relevant keywords here, but make sure the Alt tag describes what is in the image

Enter the donation amount and any additional details required, then select "Add this Contribution" to save. Repeat this process for each cash donation in your batch.
