We have just added a new feature that you can implement with online registrations. If allows you, in the Settings tab for the organization, to check Ask Donation and then specify a Fund ID for the fund where you want those donations to go.
Here is an example of a use for this feature:
The event for which you are taking registrations is a run/walk to raise money for supplies that will be used on a mission project. The registrants will pay a fee for the event, and will have an opportunity to make an 'Extra Donation' before they enter their credit card information.
The 'Extra Donation' will be recorded on that person's giving record, showing it as a contribution to the fund that was specified on the settings tab. It will also show up as a new bundle in the Contribution Bundle list.
The fee for the event will not be recorded as a donation, but will be treated like any other transaction fee.
This is so simple to set up! Plus, the system does all the proper recording for you, so there is no added work for the Contributions Clerk. Read more.
