Overview:

 

Issuing In-Kind Gift Receipts is now supported natively in fundraisingManager, including the ability to:

 

  1. Acknowledge (by email) an In-Kind Gift, using a unique In-Kind Gift email template
  2. Acknowledge and issues a CRA receipt for an In-Kind Gift, using a unique In-Kind Gift email template as well as a unique In-Kind Gift receipt template. 
  3. Issue replacement receipts for In-Kind Gift.

 

Notes:

  • Some configuration is required.   This will be addressed in a separate article / video and required administrative access to the Salesforce Platform.
  • In-Kind Gift (and gifts of other Record Types) are not currently supported in donationManager forms.  They are entered manually, using standard NPSP mechanisms. 
  • In-Kind Gift must be receipted in a unique receipt by themselves (per CRA) therefore, they cannot be included in Consolidated, or Batch Consolidated receipts. 
  • In-Kind Gift are represented in the NPSP by a unique Opportunity Record Type.    By extension to this In-Kind Gift feature, fundraisingManager can also receipt any NPSP Opportunity Record Type (including Grant, Major Gift, Matching Gift, and Membership records) as well as Custom Record Types if required.
