Create a Fund on Almabase
Go to Settings ➡ Fund Settings. On the following page, click on the Add Fund and enter the necessary details as shown below 👇
📝 External database ID field is specific to Raiser's Edge only. It is the System Record ID of the Fund.
📝 Only one fund can be marked as default. Once you mark a fund to be the default, the other default fund(if any) gets unmarked automatically.
How does it work?
When a giving campaign is designated to one or more funds, the donations will go toward whichever fund the donor selects.
If there are no funds associated with a giving campaign, then the fund that is marked as default will be picked up automatically.
However, if you haven't marked any fund as default, the system auto-creates a fund named Undesignated Fund and marks it as default, and all the donations made towards the giving campaign will go to this undesignated fund.
You can either create your own fund and mark it as default, or the system auto-creates a fund for you. 😃
Editing/Deleting a fund
The fund details, such as name, description, image, etc., can be edited at any given point in time.
A fund can be deleted only if no donations are made towards that particular fund.
