Giving levels

The Giving Levels feature places contacts into categories based on the total donations received. The range for each level can be unique to your institution. However, it's best if the ranges don't overlap.

Set up Giving levels

1. In the Configuration area (1), select Giving Levels (2) from the navigation pane. Select New (3) on the action pane.

   

2. On the General tab, fill out the required fields, and then select Save on the action pane.

   

#	Field	Value
1	Display Label	The name for the Giving Level, which appears on contact records and reports.
2	From	The minimum amount for the Giving Level.
3	To	The maximum amount for the Giving Level.

Update giving levels

Note

When a contact/organization's giving total falls within one of the defined ranges, the appropriate giving level is automatically applied to the record. This is driven by a process running in the background of the solution and may take time to update automatically.

To update giving levels manually, follow these steps:

1. Open the contact/organization record

2. Select Flow on the action pane, and then select Generate Flow.

   

   Note

   Depending on your screen, Flow may be in the extended options on the action pane (the three vertical dots).

3. On the Summary tab of the contact/organization record, search and select the appropriate giving level by using the Giving Level look-up field in the Contact Information.

   

Designations

A designation record contains setup information for indicating how the income should be spent, and for tracking expected and received revenue. It also provides the specific process required to book and reconcile the gift.

Use of the term designation in Fundraising and Engagement

The concepts of fund and designation are sometimes used interchangeably. In Fundraising and Engagement, the term designation is only used to indicate how funds raised should be spent.

The Nonprofit Common Data Model (on which Fundraising and Engagement is dependent) defines a designation as:

An area to which funds may be allocated, including a GL-relevant accounting code. Designations are the way a donor instructs an organization about how their donation should be spent or earmarked.

To review existing designations, follow these steps:

1. On the Change area menu, select Configuration.

2. Under Designations, select Designations.

   

Designations indicate the target funds for transactions, donor commitments, recurring donations, and pledge schedules.

Designations are common in major gift fundraising. They require transparent tracking and reporting that shows how designated funds are used for their intended purposes.

Create a new designation

When you create a new designation, complete the following fields:

1. Name: A free text field to enter the name of the designation.
2. Designation Code: An abbreviation of the Designation Name.
3. Parent Designation: The larger fund this designation is related to.
4. Currency: Currency of the donation.
5. GL Credit Account: The account number to deposit funds raised through this designation.
6. GL Debit Account: The account number to withdraw funds raised through this designation.
7. Description: A free text field to describe the Designation.

Designation plans

Designation plans have a specific goal, target, and timeline. Users can set the target date for the designation to be fulfilled and tie the designation to a specific campaign, donor commitment, or date range. These plans can be used for short-term or long-term projects, such as a Capital Campaign or Emergency Relief Fund.

A designation plan has the following fields:

1. Identifier: The identifier of the designation plan, automatically created by the solution.
2. Amount: The amount of the designation plan.
3. Currency: Currency of the donation.
4. Designation: The broader fund that this designation plan is related to.
5. Expected Payment Date: The expected date the designation plan gift is to be received.
6. Payment Schedule: The Payment Schedule connected to the designation plan.
7. Donor Commitment: A look-up field for a Donor Commitment/Pledge (if applicable).
8. Opportunity: The opportunity that the designation plan is related to.

Designated credits

Designated credits are automatically created for transactions that have designations, to track gifts per designation.

1. Identifier: The identifier of the designation credit automatically created by the solution.
2. Amount: The amount of this designation credit.
3. Currency: Currency of the donation.
4. Designation: The designation that this designation credit is related to.
5. Transaction: The transaction this designation credit is related to.
6. Book Date: The book date of the parent transaction.
7. Received Date: The received date of the parent transaction.

Payment processors

Create a payment processor entity to process credit card transactions. Follow the steps in one of the following sections to set up the processor you want to use.

Note

After you create or change a payment processor, follow the steps in Move payment processor credentials to Azure key vault to upload the new payment processor configuration to KeyVault.

Stripe payment gateways

Payment gateway with Stripe Payment Intents API (recommended)

To enable single payment transactions and recurring donations with a Stripe payment gateway, enter the Private Key and the Publishable Key.

Payment gateway with Stripe Charge API (legacy - not recommended)

For the legacy method, you only need to name the payment processor and add the Stripe Service Key.

Note

The Stripe Service Key in the legacy experience is the same as the Private Key in the new Payment Intents experience.

Turn off Stripe Link (recommended)

The Fundraising and Engagement application doesn't support the Stripe Link feature. We recommend that you turn off this feature to prevent accidental use. If you don't turn it off, Stripe Link appears as an option during payment.

Important

Don't turn off Stripe Link if it's used in systems other than Fundraising and Engagement.

1. Sign into the Stripe dashboard.

2. Select the Settings icon in the top right corner.

3. Select Payments, and then select the Payment methods tab.

4. Select Link, and then select the Turn off button.

   

Turn on the Stripe Payment Intents API

To use the Payment Intents API from Stripe, you need to enable the toggle called PaymentIntentEnabled in the Fundraising and Engagement Azure Key Vault.

Note

This guidance only pertains to versions 2.3.3.0 and earlier of Fundraising and Engagement.

If you turn on the Stripe Payment Intents API, it seamlessly works with the existing payment tokens in the application. However, after you turn on this integration, any newly-created cards aren't compatible with the previous payment processing method. If you want to revert to the previous payment setup, be aware that newly-added cards won't function with the older system.

1. In Microsoft Azure portal, find your Fundraising and Engagement Azure services resource group.

2. Navigate to the key vault <clientname>-vault-<env>. Make sure that your user has appropriate access policies to get, list, and set the secrets in the key vault.

3. Navigate to Secrets.

4. Open the Stripe--PaymentIntentEnabled setting. By default, Secret value is set to false. To use the Stripe Payment Intents API, you need a new version of the secret with a value of true. First, disable the setting by changing Enabled to No, and then select Apply.

The setting is now disabled, and a new version of the secret is required.

5. Select New version to add a new version of the secret. Set Secret value to true, and then select the Create button.

Now there are two versions of the secret. The new version is automatically enabled.

6. After you create this secret value, restart both your Payment Service Function App and Recurring Donation App Service to reflect the setting change.

Preference categories

Preferences represent information that doesn't live cleanly on an account or contact record, or that can be associated with both an account and a contact. Examples include, but aren't limited to:

• Personal interests
• Other communication preferences, such as desire to receive a newsletter
• Specific outreach the constituent wishes to or not to receive
• Other affiliation information, such as constituent type (for example, donor, volunteer, or board member), associations, and ratings.

Preferences also typically store demographic information in a series of dependent menus:

• Category
• Subcategory
• Type
• Subtype

Preferences are a key feature for one-to-one engagement. They enable you to track specific characteristics of constituents across the solution, so you can use that data for marketing and outreach engagement across channels.

Objectives

An objective represents the organization's highest priorities, strategies, and goals that guide investments (for requests and awards) and program delivery. Objectives can be represented in a hierarchy or linked to external standards-based references.

You can use objectives to report on goals or strategies outside of or across delivery framework (for example, Program) boundaries. For example, Advocacy can be an objective of both Health Care and Education programs.

This entity can be linked with the following entities:

• Account
• Budget
• Parent Objective

For more information, go to the Nonprofit Common Data Model reference on GitHub.

To create a new objective:

1. In the navigation pane, select Configuration from the Change area menu.
2. Under Reporting, select Objectives.

When you finish entering field values, select Save or Save & Close.

Status overview

In Fundraising and Engagement, statuses applied throughout the solution affect how the solution functions. They guide the user on how to interpret the record they're reviewing.

• Status: The general status of a record indicates if it can be edited and if it's incorporated into reports.

  • Active: Indicates the record can be modified and is included in reporting and summary calculations.

  • Inactive: Indicates the record is no longer able to be modified and is no longer included in reporting or summary calculations. Typically records with a status of Inactive are used for historical or reference purposes only.

• Status Reason: Based on the type of record, the Status Reason field indicates the condition of the record in its stage within a process.

The status and status reasons used in Fundraising and Engagement are all manually set. It's up to the user to specifically select the correct values. By default, these values are always set to:

• Status: Active
• Status Reason: Active

The status reasons that are automatically set based on background processes apply to:

• Transactions
• Donor commitments
• Payment schedules
• Registration packages

Gifts (transactions, donor commitments, and payment schedules)

Gifts can have different statuses as they progress through the various stages.

Status reason definitions:

• Active: The gift is active and users can interact with the record. Only completed gifts and pledges in active status are considered active donations.
• Write-off: When a constituent is unable to fulfill a pledge.
• Completed: The gift was paid and completed.
• In Progress: An ongoing commitment where funds are directly debited from the donor.
• Canceled: The gift was canceled or archived.
• Failed: The gift process failed and the user needs to review the report from the payment gateway.
• Refund: The gift was refunded and users are still able to interact with the record.

The following table provides a matrix of which status you can apply to each type of gift.

Gift type	Write-off	Completed	In progress	Canceled	Failed	Refund
Transaction		X	X		X	X
Donor commitment	X	X	X
Payment schedule (recurring donation)	X			X	X
Payment schedule (pledge schedule)	X		X

Campaigns, appeals, and packages

Status reason definitions (manually set):

• Proposed: The initial stage of a new campaign record, likely waiting for confirmation of dates or specific campaign details.
• Ready to Launch: All details of the campaign record have been finalized. A holding status until the official start date for the campaign.
• Launched: The campaign is open and gifts can be attributed to the campaign record.
• Completed: The campaign is closed and gifts can no longer be attributed to the campaign record.
• Canceled: The campaign record is no longer used.
• Suspended: The campaign record is on hold but can be reactivated in the future.

Registration package

Status reason definitions:

• Active: The registration package is active, and users can interact with the record.
• Completed: The registration package was paid for in full and completed.
• Failed: The registration package process failed, and the user needs to review the report from the payment gateway.

PCI compliance

Note

This section is for informational purposes only and doesn't constitute legal advice. Reach out to your legal counsel and work with your payment gateway provider to understand your exact PCI obligations and requirements.

The Fundraising and Engagement solution includes tools to securely process credit card transactions and is compliant with Moneris, iATS, and Stripe payment processing gateways. Transaction and gift processing occurs within your organization’s own Azure infrastructure and as such, the level of PCI compliance required is based on your organization’s transaction processing volumes and chosen payment gateway provider.

PCI compliance is your organization’s responsibility. Your organization's development and fundraising operation determine what actions you must take to be compliant. These actions could range from completing an Attestation of Compliance with a Level 1 on-site assessment, depending on the PCI compliance level required. Your organization's required PCI compliance level is based on the total volume of transaction processing (with higher volumes requiring higher levels of PCI compliance). The required level of PCI compliance for an organization that processes fewer than 20,000 annual transactions differs from the compliance level required for an organization that processes six million or more annual transactions.

To confirm your PCI compliance obligations, work with your payment gateway provider, who can guide you with the appropriate requirements based on your potential annual transaction volume.

Note

Nonprofit back-office credit card processing is often considered Mail Order Telephone Order (MOTO), which applies to credit card processing models where the donor provides credit card information over the phone or by direct mail. This may affect your organization's compliance obligations and its initial set up of payment gateways.

Note

If your nonprofit organization operates within the European Economic Area, any payments made by manually entering credit card transactions into Fundraising and Engagement must be flagged with the payment gateway provider, so that an exception is applied to backend transactions that would typically require credit card holder validation.

Privacy considerations

The Fundraising and Engagement solution provides organizations with the tools to securely process credit card transactions with Moneris, iATS, and Stripe payment processing gateways.

The Fundraising and Engagement solution lets you delete any constituent data, for example, when it's requested under various privacy laws and regulations. This action removes all associated data and data related to payment processing from Dataverse and Azure. However, the data isn't removed from the payment processor gateway; both payment information and other personal data of the donor can still be stored there.

To remove data from payment processor gateways, you must contact the relevant payment processor gateway provider. There are other resources available from Stripe, Moneris, and iATS payment processing gateways regarding privacy.

Functional roles

Action pane buttons

The Fundraising and Engagement solution uses options on the action pane to launch specific functionality and business logic. Seven application action pane buttons are associated with specific security roles. Assign these roles to users so they can use the associated buttons to access the corresponding functionality and logic in the solution.

The following table defines of how each action pane button interacts with their security roles or the users assigned to configuration records. The configuration record must be assigned to every user and it controls the listed action pane buttons. For details on what the configuration record controls, see Primary configuration record.
