DONATION

Charitable organizations and churches have always had a need for a comprehensive donation log. This can help better manage the pledges, as well as the donors themselves. The sharp increase in digital tools available for a wide variety of purposes has meant that bookkeepers have new and powerful utilities at their disposal.

DONATION is one such tool that helps charity owners or treasurers keep better track of who gives pledges and the amounts received. The application features an interface built around multiple frames, menu items and buttons. The perceived complexity is lessened by the highly comprehensive help file, which also offers contextual tips on particularly difficult tasks.

As with any information manager, the program requires input data. Users can either load information manually, i.e. by completing the multiple required fields, or choose to import donor data complete with pledges from external sources in TXT, CSV or Excel formats.

Regardless of how one chooses to load source data, the application allows users to keep thorough track of the organization's donations. Each entry has multiple contacts fields that can be completed, allowing users to customize their project.

The real power of this application is the ability to generate detailed, but concise reports based on the source data. From user-defined categories to pledge amounts and bank deposits, users have total freedom over the thoroughness of the output reports. Once satisfied with their selection, these documents can be printed or saved to disk as TXTs, CSVs, PDFs or HTMLs.

To conclude, DONATION is a great tool for anyone involved in managing the donated financial input of charities, churches, and similar organizations.
