Gift Notes Report

This article provides steps to run a Gift Notes report.

The Gift Notes report allows you to easily find the gifts that have donor notes. The Gift Notes report lists all the processed transactions within a specified timeframe that have an associated donor's note recorded in the system. You can also filter the report by fund, physical gifts, and online gifts to help narrow down your search. 

The Gift Notes report is available for Church Manager and Online Giving Customers and includes physical and online gifts (transactions) recorded in the system. 

The report results provide you with a list of transactions that processed, who gave the gift, on what day, for which particular fund, the amount, and the note that accompanied the gift. The notes written by the donor may typically require some action to be performed by the church depending on what the note contains. The note may refer to a memoriam for someone, or a reminder to put something in the church bulletin, or that a staff member may need to be notified about it, etc.
