Every giving page in Almabase has a Reports tab that breaks down your fundraising total into its components — how much came from direct donations, how much was unlocked through matching or participation challenges, how much went to payment processing fees, and what your net recorded amount is.

This is especially useful during and after a Giving Day or campaign when you need to reconcile what the public thermometer shows with what has actually been recorded as gifts. The report gives you a single place to see the full picture without digging through individual gift records.

The report has three parts: a summary at the top, a thermometer breakdown in the middle (competitive fundraising pages only), and campaign insights at the bottom.

At the top, you see a high-level view of the campaign's progress:

Below the summary is the thermometer breakdown — a detailed view of what makes up your fundraising total.

This is the overall amount raised on your giving page. It includes:

Matching gifts are split into two categories:

The gap between unrecorded and recorded matching gifts tells you how much still needs to be formally recorded.

This is the amount that counts toward your formal gift records — direct gifts plus recorded matching gifts. Compare this to the gross total to see how much is still unrecorded.

This shows the total processing fees (such as credit card fees) to be charged on your gifts. Processing fees are configured in your Payment Gateway settings.

By default, processing fees are not reflected in the amounts donors see. You can choose to exclude payment gateway charges from your fundraising goal so that only net gift amounts count toward the thermometer and goal progress.

This is the total donation amount after subtracting payment gateway charges. Donors do not see this figure unless you have enabled the setting to exclude charges from your goal.

The bottom of the Reports tab shows a set of insight cards that give you a fuller picture of your giving page's performance beyond the dollar totals.

If your giving page has Matching gifts or Participation challenge campaigns, the report includes a Challenge insights section that tracks how those campaigns are performing.

You see:

Participation challenge example: James Thompson's employer pledges $1,000 when 50 alumni make a gift. At gift #35, the insights show 0 completed, 1 in progress, $0 released, $1,000 left. After the 50th gift, the challenge moves to completed and the $1,000 is released.

Matching gifts example: A dollar-for-dollar match up to $500 shows 0 completed, 1 in progress, $320 released, $180 left — the match is releasing incrementally as donors give.

As gifts come in, donors are grouped here by affiliation (Alumni, Parent, Faculty, etc.). This helps you see which segments are contributing to the campaign.

How donors rated the gift process on this page, shown as a score out of 5 with the total number of reviews.

Record them by adding each as an offline gift with the matching gift toggle turned on. Once recorded, they move from the unrecorded figure into recorded matching gifts and become part of your net amount recorded. Sync them to your CRM as well.

Yes, but it is highly recommended not to. Every recorded matching gift should correspond to an unrecorded matching gift that a challenge has unlocked. If you add an offline gift with the matching gift toggle on when there are no unrecorded matching gifts, the thermometer will not reflect that gift. Only record matching gifts when there is an unrecorded amount to match against.

It depends on whether you have enabled the Exclude payment gateway charges setting on your giving page. If exclude is selected, the fee amount is removed from the donation and the remaining net amount is what shows on the thermometer and counts toward the goal. If the setting is off, the full donated amount shows as-is on the thermometer with no fee deduction.

A transaction is a single payment event. A gift is an individual gift record. They usually match, but can differ. If the Show each fund donation as a separate gift toggle is turned on for your giving page, a single transaction where a donor splits their payment across multiple funds will create a separate gift record for each fund — so the gift count will be higher than the transaction count. Matching gift records that exist without their own payment transaction can also cause the numbers to differ.

No. The public progress bar shows goal completion based on your page display settings. The thermometer breakdown in Reports is an admin-only view that explains the components behind that number.

Fee breakdowns require completed payment transactions with receipt data. Manually entered, offline, or externally processed gifts may not have this data, so their fees won't appear in the breakdown.

The thermometer breakdown only appears on competitive fundraising pages. If your page is not a competitive fundraising page, the report shows the summary and payment gateway charges but not the thermometer breakdown.

No. Challenge insights only tracks Matching gifts and Participation challenge campaigns. Fund for specific cause campaigns are not included.

The Reports tab is a live summary view and cannot be exported directly. For gift-level detail you can download, use the Export tab on the same giving page.

Data reflects completed gifts and campaign activity at the time you load or refresh the page. During a live Giving Day, refresh to see the latest numbers.

A participation challenge unlocks a lump-sum match when a participation goal is met (for example, 50 donors making a gift). A matching gifts campaign releases matching dollars incrementally as donors give, up to a cap. Both appear in Challenge insights but track progress differently.
